How long do people live with APL?

What is a APL?

Hear this out loudPauseSummary. Listen. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is an aggressive type of acute myeloid leukemia in which there are too many immature blood-forming cells (promyelocytes) in the blood and bone marrow. This build up of promyelocytes leads to a shortage of normal white and red blood cells and platelets in the body.

Can APL be cured?

Hear this out loudPauseAcute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has become a curable disease by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-based induction therapy followed by two or three courses of consolidation chemotherapy. Currently around 90% of newly diagnosed patients with APL achieve complete remission (CR) and over 70% of patients are curable.

Is APL a type of AML?

Hear this out loudPauseAcute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). APL cells have a very specific abnormality that involves chromosomes 15 and 17, leading to the formation of an abnormal fusion gene called PML/RARα.

Why do people get APL?

Hear this out loudPauseIt happens when there are too many of the blood-forming cells called promyelocytes in the blood and bone marrow. A buildup of promyelocytes leads to a shortage of other kinds of blood cells, including red cells, white cells, and platelets. APL usually occurs in middle-aged adults, but it can happen at any age.

Is MDS a death sentence?

Hear this out loudPauseMDS is a potentially fatal disease; the common causes of death in a cohort of 216 MDS patients included bone marrow failure (infection/hemorrhage) and transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). [4] Treatment of MDS can be challenging in these generally older patients.

What is the most curable leukemia?

Hear this out loudPauseTreatment outcomes for APL are very good, and it is considered the most curable type of leukemia. Cure rates are as high as 90%.

Does APL come back?

The prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has been improved by the combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) with chemotherapy. Nonetheless, relapse occurs in a certain proportion of patients, mostly within three to four years after treatment.

Can you live a normal life with MDS?

With current treatments, patients with lower-risk types of some MDS can live for 5 years or even longer. Patients with higher-risk MDS that becomes acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are likely to have a shorter life span. About 30 out of 100 MDS patients will develop AML.

How painful is MDS?

Leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) can cause bone or joint pain, usually because your bone marrow has become overcrowded with cancer cells. At times, these cells may form a mass near the spinal cord's nerves or in the joints.

Does anyone survive AML?

The 5-year survival rate for people 20 and older with AML is 26%. For people younger than 20, the survival rate is 68%. However, survival depends on several factors, including biologic features of the disease and, in particular, a patient's age (see Subtypes for more information).

What is considered high risk MDS?

The newer WPSS classification system takes into account chromosomal abnormalities like IPSS, but includes two more factors—the WHO's own classification of MDS subtypes and whether the patient is dependent on red cell transfusions. In the WPSS, a score of three or above is considered higher-risk.
