A Novel and Efficient Induction Approach for Accelerated Differentiation and Rapid Hematopoietic Recovery in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) Patients by Combining All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) with Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF).
Abstract:Background: Despite successful treatment with ATRA and chemotherapy (CT), nearly 10% of APL patients die during early part of treatment because of life threatening complications like bleeding, thrombosis, Retinoic Acid Syndrome (RAS) or infection. This number increases to >20% in most developing countries and presents significant challenge for clinicians. The goal is to develop therapy that rapidly corrects coagulopathy and also normalizes counts. Recent in-vitro data had suggested that G-CSF markedly and s… Show more
