Leucemia Mielocítica Aguda da infância e adolescência: fracassos e vitórias

Abstract: Há cerca de três décadas, a Leucemia Mielocítica Aguda (LMA) em crianças e adultos era considerada uma doença incurável. Inicialmente, com a introdução dos quimioterápicos citosina arabinoside (ARA-C) e os antracíclicos, surgiram casos de remissão completa, sobrevida longa e possível cura.1 Embora estes sucessos fossem esporádi-cos, quebrava-se o paradigma da incurabilidade e nascia uma era de esperança.A organização de grupos cooperativos para o tratamento experimental desta doença teve influência definitiva … Show more

“…However, with the organization of cooperative groups working for treatment and the introduction of new drugs, there has been a reduction in mortality. 24 According to a study conducted with 86 children with AML in the state of Minas Gerais in the period 1986-2000, the rate of complete disease remission was 40% until 1990 and 64% after the introduction of the German chemotherapy protocol (1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002), with a change in the survival rate from 6.7% to 39.4%. 25 The Brazilian Cooperative Group for Treatment of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in Childhood (GBTLI) Danúbia da Cunha Antunes Saraiva et al has been developing clinical trials for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children since 1980.…”

“…Age and sex can be identified as factors that influence mortality patterns, since adolescents and young adults have better survival rates after diagnosis and treatment 23,24 . In addition, exposure to risk factors attributable to infections and smoking may influence higher mortality in men than in women [25][26][27] .…”

“…Muitos paradigmas de incurabilidade foram quebrados com o sucesso de alguns agentes quimioterápicos, como a citosina arabinoside (ARA-C) e os antracíclicos que levaram a remissões completas, além de aumentarem a sobrevida e a possibilidade de cura para os casos de LMA. Por anos, apesar do acesso a essas drogas, muitas crianças morreram, até que estudos, principalmente prospectivos, conduzissem às melhores maneiras de manejo destas drogas, mas ainda são necessários investimentos e pesquisas para alcançar maiores índices de cura (PEREIRA, 2006).…”
