chlorambucil and Myelodysplastic Syndromes

chlorambucil has been researched along with Myelodysplastic Syndromes in 19 studies

Chlorambucil: A nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used as antineoplastic for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and others. Although it is less toxic than most other nitrogen mustards, it has been listed as a known carcinogen in the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985). (Merck Index, 11th ed)
chlorambucil : A monocarboxylic acid that is butanoic acid substituted at position 4 by a 4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl group. A chemotherapy drug that can be used in combination with the antibody obinutuzumab for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We recently observed a 39-year-old female patient with Behçet's disease developing a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) FAB subtype refractory anemia with excess of blasts in transformation [RAEB-t] with a monosomy 7 after being treated with cyclosporin A and chlorambucil for several years."3.70Myelodysplastic syndrome with monosomy 7 after immunosuppressive therapy in Behçet's disease. ( Bangerter, M; Griesshammer, M; Hafner, M; Heil, G; Heiss, M; Kern, P; Kern, W; Krauter, J; v Tirpitz, C, 1999)
" Although multi-drug therapy is known to produce myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in patients with CTD, treatment with single-agent therapy, particularly methotrexate, has rarely been associated with secondary MDS or AML."3.69Myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia in connective tissue disease after single-agent chemotherapy. ( Farhi, DC; Rosenthal, NS, 1996)
"Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may have disease transformation to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or prolymphocytic leukemia; however, development of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is unusual."2.70Therapy-related myeloid leukemias are observed in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia after treatment with fludarabine and chlorambucil: results of an intergroup study, cancer and leukemia group B 9011. ( Appelbaum, FR; Elias, L; Hines, JD; Kolitz, JE; Larson, RA; Morrison, VA; Peterson, BL; Rai, KR; Schiffer, CA; Shepherd, L, 2002)
"One of the MPDs, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), has the distinct cytogenetic abnormality of the Philadelphia chromosome."2.42Treatment paradigms in the management of myeloproliferative disorders. ( Fruchtman, SM, 2004)
"To date, the majority of trials on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) focused on patients considerably younger than the median age of onset for CLL."1.39First immunochemotherapy outcomes in elderly patients with CLL: a retrospective analysis. ( Bouvet, E; Cazin, B; Coiffier, B; Laurent, G; Michallet, AS; Mosser, L; Oberic, L; Salles, G; Schlaifer, D; Ysebaert, L, 2013)
"Cytogenetic analysis showed complex chromosomal abnormalities including 5q deletion, 12p deletion and monosomy 18."1.33Myelodysplastic syndrome with complex karyotypic abnormality in a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia after sequential treatment with chlorambucil and fludarabine. ( Cho, HS; Chun, SH; Hyun, MS; Kim, KO; Kim, MK; Lee, KH; Shin, SJ, 2005)
"Hodgkin's disease is curable in the majority of patients, although a proportion of patients are resistant to or relapse after initial therapy."1.30High-dose BEAM chemotherapy with autologous haemopoietic stem cell transplantation for Hodgkin's disease is unlikely to be associated with a major increased risk of secondary MDS/AML. ( Devereux, S; Goldstone, AH; Gregory, W; Hancock, B; Harrison, CN; Hoskin, P; Hudson, GV; Linch, DC; MacMillan, AK; Milligan, D; Newland, AC; Winfield, D, 1999)
