Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia-Associated Thrombosis.
Abstract Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are prone to both bleeding and thrombosis. The bleeding complications are well known. In contrast, APL-associated thrombosis is relatively underappreciated. We aimed to explore the issue of APL-associated thrombosis events. In the past 20 years, 127 cases with APL were found in our hospital database. We collected their coagulation laboratory profiles, including leukemia burdens, white blood cell and platelet counts, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen levels, and disseminated intravascular coagulation scores. Data were compar...

Venous thromboembolism in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 0.95–36 % of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia almost exclusively during chemotherapy. It is most commonly associated with concurrent l-asparaginase and steroid therapy, central venous line use, and inherited thrombophilia. Clinical manifestations regarding the location of VTE include central nervous system thrombosis (sinus venous thrombosis, cerebral infarct/stroke), upper-/lower-limb deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and right atrial/intracardiac and superficial venous thrombosis and can be both symptomatic and asymptomatic. The majority of ...

Clinical Course of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). A significant proportion of patients develop cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).

Abstract 5267: Comorbidity and cause of death in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Conclusions. Despite the advanced age at CLL diagnosis, the frequent presence of comorbidities, and the indolent nature of the disease, CLL progression is the ultimate cause of death in 51% of newly diagnosed CLL patients, with an additional 26% dying of causes potentially related to CLL, such as infections and second cancers. The influence of comorbidities and other clinical factors at diagnosis (e.g. smoking, Charlson Comorbidity Index) on survival and ultimate cause of death are being abstracted, and will be presented at the meeting.Citation Format: Paolo Strati, Kari Chaffe, Sara Achenbach, Timothy Call, Neil Kay, Jame...

Transient ischemic attack as an unusual initial manifestation of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Abstract Patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are prone to both bleeding and thrombosis. Both of these have a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients with this disease. Here we report a case of a 41-year-old male, who presented with transient ischemic attack (TIA) and early neurological deterioration (END) as initial manifestations prior to an ultimate diagnosis of APL. This patient had no cerebrovascular risk factors or familial cerebrovascular disease. The patient experienced an acute ischemic stroke, verified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in less than 24 h after his sec...

Acute Neurotoxicity during ALL Therapy Is Associated with Treatment Intensity, Age and Female Sex - an Analysis of SAE Reports from the UKALL 2003 Trial
Discussion:This large study identifies treatment intensity as the main risk factor for developing acute neurotoxicity with female sex, age and CNS status having a significant modifying effect. CNS status may reflect increased intrathecal therapy given to non-CNS-1 patients. Females are more vulnerable to cranial radiotherapy induced neurotoxicity but this is the first report of female sex as a risk factor on contemporary chemotherapy treatment protocols. Reassuringly, the occurrence of acute neurotoxicity did not influence survival rates. These data provide an important benchmark for ongoing international deep phenotyping ...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Single Institution Retrospective Study
Discussion: Our limited data suggests that use of DOACs in patients with MPN is feasible with an acceptable balance between risk of hemorrhage and recurrent thrombosis. Additional data on long term outcomes of DOACs in MPNs are needed.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Fool Me Once: An Uncommon Presentation of PE
​BY FREDDIE IRIZARRY-DELGADO; VAROON KAKAIYA; & AHMED RAZIUDDIN, MDAn 86-year-old African-American woman was brought to the ED by her daughter after two days of nutritional neglect, abdominal pain, and altered mental status. Her daughter said her mother felt lightheaded, appeared dehydrated, and vomited nonbilious watery fluid once. The patient had a history of diabetes mellitus type 2, DVT/PE, dementia, and early signs of parkinsonism.Her vital signs were remarkable only for tachypnea (24 bpm). Her troponin I was markedly elevated at 1.7 ng/mL. A D-dimer was ordered because of her history of unprovoked DVT/PE, and i...

Cardiovascular disease after childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite attempts to reduce cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer treatment, CVD risks in ALL survivors treated more recently do not seem to have declined. PMID: 30852834 [PubMed - in process]

Medium and long-term risks of specific cardiovascular diseases in survivors of 20 adult cancers: a population-based cohort study using multiple linked UK electronic health records databases
In this study, we used large-scale electronic health records data from multiple linked UK databases to address these evidence gaps.MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used linked primary care, hospital, and cancer registry data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to identify cohorts of survivors of the 20 most common cancers who were 18 years or older and alive 12 months after diagnosis and controls without history of cancer, matched for age, sex, and general practice. We compared risks for a range of cardiovascular disease outcomes using crude and adjusted Cox models. We fitted interactions to in...

Seizures during treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: A population-based cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Seizures are relatively common in ALL patients and occur most often in patients with PRES, SVT, or as an isolated symptom. Older children have higher risk of seizures. PMID: 32340855 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cancers, Vol. 12, Pages 1285: Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism during Therapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoma in Caucasian Children
Conclusion: This represents the largest GWAS meta-analysis conducted to date associating SNPs to VTE in children and adolescents treated on childhood ALL protocols. Validation of these findings is needed and may then lead to patient stratification for VTE preventive interventions. As VTE hemostasis involves multiple pathways, a more powerful GWAS is needed to detect combination of variants associated with VTE.
