Operational Cures After Interferon-Alpha in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Central and Northern Moravia

Original language description

We assessed long-term outcome of 118 consecutive patients in chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated with interferon-alpha (IFN-alfa) in the Central and Northern Moravia region between 1989 and 2006 with focus on operational cure. The median follow-up was 82.6 months (range 12.4-212.6). Eighteen (15.3%) patients achieved complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) after median 16.7 (3.7-40.8) months. Nine of these patients (7.6%) achieved BCR-ABL negativity in nested reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction ["complete" molecular response (CMR)] and 6 of them have been operationally cured without any treatment for median 6 (4-10) years, while 2 continue with IFN-alfa and 1 died from CML-unrelated cause. Operationally cured patients had asignificantly lower percentage of initial peripheral promyelocytes, blasts, and erythroblasts than the rest of patients treated for more than 12 months (P=0.01-0.03). Unlike patients with sole CCyR, the majority of whom lost CCyR despite
