- Abstract
Introduction: Secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) remains a therapeutic challenge. In elderly patients with AML, it is unclear whether sAML displays an inferior outcome compared with de novo AML., Patients and Methods: We studied AML with an antecedent of hematologic disease, treatment-related AML, or AML occurring concurrently to another malignancy in a single-center cohort of patients aged 70 and older with AML. The study included 169 patients who were compared with a cohort of patients with de novo AML, without any prior history of malignant disorders, seen during the same period of time., Results: Hematologic antecedents or presence of prior/concurrent solid malignancy did not impact complete remission rates and overall survival. In multivariate analysis, sAML appeared without independent prognostic value in the elderly., Conclusion: Our results support that sAML and de novo AML in elderly patients are not prognostically distinct entities. They should therefore not be considered separately when investigating outcomes and new treatment strategies., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
