CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
CHRONIC LUNG CANCER
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia | - highest incidence of all leukemias - high prevalence/slow progression TYPES OF CLL: B-cell and T-cell |
| RF of CLL | - Family Hx - Age - Sex - Exposed to agent orange - Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis |
| Dx of CLL | - established by flow cytometry of blood ( monoclonal B lymphocytes) - Clonality of B cell to be confirmed by flow cytometry - Adequate immunophenotyping to establish dx |
| Symptoms of CLL | - fatigue, fever, swollen LN, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, pain or sense of fullness under ribs |
| Complications of CLL | - can develop into lymphoma - increased risk of skin, lung or colon cancer - Anemia - Thrombocytopenia - Frequent Infections |
| Goals in CLL | - Relief of symptoms - Correct cytopenias - Response |
| B symptoms | fever > 100.4F, drenching night sweats, weight loss (>10% in 6 mos) |
| Work up for CLL | H&P, Peripheral blood smear, performance status, Assess B symptoms, Perform flow cytometry |
| CLL Cytogenetics Analysis | Deletion 11q & Del 17P/TP53 11q MAY respond well to fludarabine + alkylator, 17P has poor response to chemoimmunotherapy |
| CLL treatments | watchful waiting, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, transplant (if refractory) |
| CLL 1st line treatment | - venetoclax + obinutuzumab - venetoclax + acalabrutinib +/- obinutuzumab - Zanubrutinib - Acalabrutinib +/- Obinutuzumab |
| ADRs of CLL regimens | * Acalabrutinib = avoid CYP3A4 strong inh or inducers, antacids and H2 blockers and grapefruit *Zanubrutinib = Avoid CYP3A4 inhib or inducer and avoid GF * Obinutuzumab = NONEEE * Venetoclax = CYP3A4 inducers and inhibitors and PgP inhibitors |
| Philadelphia Chromosome | - leads to production of BCR-ABL protein - constitutively active tyrosine kinase |
| CML clinical presentation | - leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, anemia, basophilia + eosinophilia, splenomegaly, no increases infection risk |
| Sokal Risk Score | Factors considered during risk calculation: patient age, spleen size, plt count, % blast in peripheral blood. Risk Category: LOW: <0.8 Intermediate: 0.8 to 1.2 HIGH: >1.2 |
| CML 1st line therapy | * Low risk: imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, asciminib * Intermediate OR HIGH risk: Bosutanib, Asciminib, Nilotinib, Dasatinib * T315I mutation: Ponatinib (preferred), Asciminib |
| Asciminib (Scemblix) | MOA: BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, especially targets CML cell with T315I mutation |
