Introductory Patient History• 70 y.o. male with a history of 3 months of fatigue, sweats, and weight 

loss.  Initial WBC 16,400, Hgb 13, and platelet 175.  Diff showed 8% metamyelocytes, 11% myelocytes and 4% promyelocytes

• A bone marrow biopsy identified hypercellularity of 100% with some left shift.  Cytogenetics were normal, and molecular testing for bcr-abl and JAK2 were negative, but in the blood, ASXL1 and BCOR1 mutations were seen (5.9% and 13%)

• Progressive leukocytosis was noted over the next four months

Continued Patient History• The patient developed back pain and weakness, and MRI showed low 

signal material arising around the nerve roots

• CT-guided biopsy demonstrated a myeloid neoplasm

• Worsening back pain and leukocytosis prompted referral to an academic medical center

• Repeat bone marrow core biopsy showed 30-50% promonocytes and blasts.  Cytogenetics were 46,XY, t(8;9)(p22;p24), der(9)

• Sequencing panel confirmed ASXL1 (vaf 41%)

Introductory Patient History• After achieving CR, with MRD-negativity by UW flow, the patient 

elected to receive three cycles of high-dose cytarabine-based consolidation therapy 

• Three years after CR1 was achieved, the patient developed low-back pain followed, over several months, by mild thrombocytopenia and leukopenia

• Repeat bone marrow identified 20% CD117-positive blasts.  NPM1 allelic frequency 21%; no flt3 ITD identified.

Acute Myelogenous Leukemia• Defined by biologically distinct disease subsets defined by an 

accumulation of molecular drivers of cell proliferation and survival

• Defined by clinically distinct subsets of patients with characteristic clinical features that define risk

Newly Diagnosed AML • Clinically and biologically heterogenous• Although most arise de novo, many arise in the setting of 

prior hematologic disease or after cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy

• Clinical factors are crucial in decisions regarding management, especially in older patients

• Induction with cytarabine/idarubicin followed by consolidation with IDAC x 2

• Remission duration 9 months. Relapse characterized only by inv(16)

• Reinduced with Clofarabine/Cytarabine.  Treated with allotransplant from sibling after bu 

(10)/ flu conditioning.  Course complicated by moderate cGvHD
