Defining Phases of CML Baccarani M, et al. Blood. 2013;122:872-884. ELN (European Leukemia Net) definitions of CML-CP, -AP, and BP Phase Definition Chronic None of the criteria for AP or BP are met Accelerated Blast 15%-29% blasts in blood or bone marrow > 30% blasts plus promyelocytes in blood or bone marrow, with < 30% blasts only 20% basophils in blood Persistent thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100 10 9 /L) unrelated to therapy Major route CCA/Ph+ on treatment 30% blasts in blood or bone marrow Extramedullary blast proliferation, apart from spleen AP, accelerated phase; BP, blast phase; CCA/Ph+, clonal chromosomal abnormalities in Philadelphia chromosome positive cells. 1. Baccarani M, et al. Blood. 2006;108:1809-1820; 2. Baccarani M, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2009;27:6041-6051.
Features of the chronic phase of CML 25-35% of all cases is asymptomatic, but accelerated and blastic phase Blood count: Physical exam: granulocytosis (frequently 10-50 G/l) left shift in differenteial blood count Eosinophila,basophilia Thrombocytosis splenomegaly

Grades of molecular response to TKI treatment CML monitoring categories Depth of molecular response At dg of CML number of leukemic cells 10 12, BCR-ABL1 level usually 100% ( International Scale =IS). Complete hematological response already after one nagyságrendnyi decrease in the numer of leukemic cells Complet cytogenetic response after another/further nagyságrendnyi decrease. Major molekular response after 3 log decrease, if BCR-ABL1 level is below 0,1%. Even deeper : deep molecular response (MR4.0, MR4.5, MR5.0).

Chronic myelogenous leukemia CP CML First line treatment Available first line treatment: Imatinib (Glivec) 1x400 mg Nilotinib (Tasigna) 2x300 mg Dasatinib (Sprycel)1x100 mg Search for allogenic transplant donor and HLA typing warranted: Related donor: Warning signs at diagnosis (high risk, CCA/Ph+) TKI intolerance Failure of first line TKI treatment MUD search, if no available related donor: Failure of 2nd generation TKI in first line treatment Presence of T315I mutation Accelerated, or blast phase. Allogenic HSCT is mostly recommended for 3rd line of treatment. For indicating allo HSCT additional risk factors are also to be considered (HCT-CI, EMBT) Baccarani M et al.: European LeukemiaNet recommendations for the management of chronic myeloid leukemia: 2013.

EUTOS Hasford et al. 2011 Spleen x4 + basophils x 7 Low risk: 87 High risk: >87 Age is measured in years. Spleen size is measured in largest distance from costal arc in centimetres. Blast cells, eosinophils and basophils are calculated in percentage based on peripheral smear.

Polycythaemia vera WHO diagnosztic criteria (2016) Two major, or first major and two minor criteria Major criteria: 1. Hb>165 g/l; Hct>49% (male), or Hb>160 g/l; Hct >48% (nő), or increased red blood cell mass 2. Trilinear proliferation in the bone marrow 3. JAK v617f or JAK exon 12 mutation Minor criterium: 1. Subnormal szerum erythropoetin (EPO) level Arber DA et al.: The 2016 revision to the World Health Organization classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia. Blood 2016;2391-2405.
Polycythaemia vera First line treatment: phlebotomy Repeated removal of 300 ml blood volume Replacement with physiologic saline infusion Keep hematocrit values below 0,45 Second line treatment : cytoreduction hydroxyurea Platelet aggregation inhibitors: aspirin
Essentialis thrombocythaemia: ET Chr. myeloproliferative disorder characterized by thrombocytosis. Bone marrow: the number of megakaryocytes is increased arterial thrombophilia + Significant tendency for bleeding
ET: increased number of megakaryocytes in bone marrow
Treatment of essential thrombocythaemia Is treatment necessary? Determinants 1. age 2. Presence of disease related symptoms (or former presence) 3. The platelet count Treatment is necessary 1. At any age, if the number of platelets is above 1500 G/l 2. In case of complications, already with platelet counts above 450 G/l 3. In asymptomatic elderly patients already when platelet count is 600 G/l cytoreductive treatment + platelet aggregation inhibitors

Myelofibrosis: peripheral smear Bone marrow fibrosis
