Abstract

Akut Miyeloid Lösemi (AML), önemli ölçüde genetik heterojeniteye sahip karmaşık bir hematolojik malignitedir. Fms benzeri tirozin kinaz 3 (FLT3) mutasyonları, kötü prognoz ile ilişkilidir ve AML vakalarının yaklaşık %30'unda görülür. Bu çalışma, bir AML hasta kohortunda FLT3 mutasyonlarının prevalansını, bunların klinik sonuçlar üzerindeki etkilerini ve çeşitli tedavi yaklaşımlarının etkinliğini araştırmaktadır. Yaşları 20-95 arası 157 akut promiyelositik lösemi dışı de novo AML tanılı hasta FLT3-ITD ve FLT3-TKD mutasyonları açısından taranarak incelendi. Kemoterapiyi yaşa, ECOG performans durumuna ve FLT3 mutasyon varlığına göre uyarlandı. Araştırmamız hastaların %27,3'ünde FLT3 mutasyonu, %65'inde FLT3-ITD ve %35'inde FLT3-TKD mutasyonu olduğunu ortaya koydu. FLT3 mutasyonları olanlar, mutasyonları olmayan hastalara kıyasla daha yüksek ölüm oranları sergiledi. Yaş, FLT3 mutasyon durumu ve tekrarlayan/dirençli hastalık, mortalite için bağımsız risk faktörleri olarak ortaya çıktı. Midostaurin ile tedavi edilen hastalar, sorafenib uygulananlara göre daha düşük bir ölüm riskine sahipti. Bu çalışma, AML'deki FLT3 mutasyonlarının önemini, bunların klinik sonuçlar üzerindeki etkilerini ve hedefe yönelik tedavilerin avantajlarını vurgulamaktadır. Bulgularımız, FLT3 mutasyonları olan AML hastalarının prognozunu güçlendirmeyi amaçlayan daha ileri araştırmaların aciliyetini vurgulamaktadır.

Investigating FLT3 Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Single-Center Real-World Data Study on Patient Outcomes and Treatment Strategies

Abstract

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a complex hematological malignancy with considerable genetic heterogeneity. Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations are associated with poor prognosis and occur in nearly 30% of AML cases. This study delves into the prevalence of FLT3 mutations, their impact on clinical outcomes, and the efficacy of various treatment approaches in a cohort of AML patients. We examined 157 de novo non-acute promyelocytic leukemia AML patients aged 20-95 years, screening for FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD mutations. We tailored chemotherapy based on age, ECOG performance status, and FLT3 mutation presence. Our research revealed that 27.3% of patients harbored FLT3 mutations, with 65% FLT3-ITD and 35% FLT3-TKD mutations. Those with FLT3 mutations exhibited higher mortality rates compared to patients without mutations. Age, FLT3 mutation status, and relapsed/refractory disease emerged as independent risk factors for mortality. Patients treated with midostaurin faced a lower mortality risk than those administered sorafenib. This study underscores the significance of FLT3 mutations in AML, their influence on clinical outcomes, and the advantages of targeted therapies. Our findings stress the urgency for further investigation aimed at enhancing the prognosis for AML patients with FLT3 mutations.
