Post-cytotoxic myeloid neoplasms: a comprehensive analysis of clinicopathologic, genetic profile, latency determinants, and potential prognostic predictors- a single centre study
摘要
Post cytotoxic myeloid neoplasms signify a heterogenous pool of poorly understood hematologic neoplasms with unfortunate survival and ineffective therapies. There is a lack of consensus on prognostic indicators, primarily due to the heterogenous disease spectrum encompassing different pathological, cytogenomic and original disease variables. This retrospective, single-center study over 10 years duration on MN-pCT cases diagnosed at NCCCR, a member of Hamad Medical Corporation. The study aimed to analyze clinicopathologic and cytogenomic characteristics, identify key prognostic predictors, and assess their impact on mortality through univariate and multivariate analyses. We identified 42 MN-pCT patients, noting a 31.7% prevalence of autoimmune diseases as primary condition, which is higher than previously reported. TP53 was the most frequently mutated gene, found in 28.6% of tested cases. Significant determinants of a shorter latency period included prior exposure to alkylating agents and TP53 positivity (by NGS or IHC) (
