不同年龄成年人急性白血病形态学、免疫学及细胞遗传学分型比较

Objective To investigate the characters of morphology,immunology and cytogenetics of adult acute leukemia (AL) in different ages. Methods 172 cases of newly diagnosed adult AL were divided into two groups:the non-aged group (age＜60 years) and the aged group ( age≥60 years). Morphology,immunology and cytogenetics between the two groups were compared. Results The incidence of M3 in aged AL was significantly lower than that in non-aged AL[6.0 %(3/50) vs 18.9 %(23/122),P ＜0.05]. The incidence of hypo-or extremely hypo-cellular AL in aged AL was significantly higher than that in non-aged AL[14.0 %(7/50) vs 4.1 %(5/122),P ＜0.05],but the incidence of hyper-or extremely hyper-cellular was significantly lower than that in non-aged AL[52.0 %(26/50) vs 73.8 %(90/122),P ＜0.05]. Among aged acute myeloid leukemia (AML),the incidence of lymphoid antigen positive AML (Ly+AML) was significantly higher than that in non-aged AML[63.4 %(26/41) vs 41.3 %(38/92),P ＜0.05]. The incidence of adverse karyotypes in aged AML was significantly higher than that in non-aged AML[33.3 %(11/33) vs 14.1 %(10/71),P ＜0.05].Conclusion Age is an important prognostic factor in AL. Generally,aged AL has poorer prognosis than nonaged AL.
