Increased incidence of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia following therapy in patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung.

Abstract: A group of 158 patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung were followed for 174.5 person-years of observation to determine the risk of acute leukemia. Three cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were observed at 2.3, 2.7, and 3.0 years. The relative risk of developing leukemia was 316 (95% confidence limit, 76-818) and the actuarial risk was 25% +/- 13% at 3.1 years. The relative risk for leukemia was significantly increased in these patients (p less than 0.0001).

“…The median time between the previous cancer diagnosis and MDS in our study was considerably shorter for lung cancer (1.0 years) and somewhat shorter for lymphohematopoietic cancers (5.1 years) than for all cancer types combined (6.5 years), additionally suggesting that the specific treatments for these cancers may have resulted in more aggressive MDS. Very rapid onset of secondary MDS following chemotherapy for lung cancer has also been observed in clinical studies (1.7-2.7 years median latency) [25,26], in which the actuarial risk of secondary MDS was notably higher for lung cancer than that recorded for other primary malignancies. Whether the clinical course of MDS following lung cancer differs from that in MDS following other primary malignancies was not described in previous clinical studies.…”

“…Additionally, the pathological type and stage of LC were found to be important factors affecting the occurrence of t-AML. The cumulative risk of t-MDS/t-AML after intensive treatment targeting SCLC has been reported to be 14% at 4 years after diagnosis [ 20 ] and 25% at 3 years after diagnosis [ 21 ]. Unfortunately, neither of these studies compared NSCLC with SCLC.…”
