Abstract

We report a comparative analysis of patients with therapy-related acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (tr-ALL) vs de novo ALL. We identified 331 patients with B-ALL; 69 (21%) were classified as tr-ALL. The most common prior malignancies were breast (23·2%) and plasma cell disorders (20·3%). Patients with tr-ALL were older (median 63·2 vs. 46·2 years, P < 0.001), more often female (66·7% vs. 43·5%, P < 0·001), and more likely to have hypodiploid cytogenetics (18·8% vs. 5·0%, P < 0·001). In multivariable analysis, patients with tr-ALL were less likely to achieve complete remission [odds ratio (OR) = 0·16, P < 0·001] and more likely to be minimal residual disease-positive (OR = 4·86, P = 0·01) but had similar OS after diagnosis and allo-haematopoietic cell transplantation.
