| الوصف: | PURPOSE To present two patients as illustrations of the risk of developing secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (sAML) when theoretically safe doses of etoposide (VP-16) are used. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patient no. 1 was a 15-year-old white girl diagnosed with stage IIa Hodgkin's disease. She was treated with a combination of vincristine, doxorubicin, bleomycin, and VP-16 (2 g/m2 total) over 4 months, followed by 25.5 Gy of involved-field radiotherapy. Patient no. 2 was an 11-year-old white boy diagnosed with virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (VAHS). He was treated with VP-16 intravenously (IV) and orally (0.3 g and 2.8 g/m2, respectively). RESULTS Patient no. 1 developed AML 16 months from the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease. Patient no. 2 developed AML 26 months from diagnosis. Both bone marrows were consistent with French-American-British (FAB) M4 disease. Both patients had abnormalities of the long arm of chromosome 11. CONCLUSION The use of low-dose or oral VP-16 can be associated with the development of sAML. Clinicians should be cautious in the use of VP-16 in low-risk diseases. |
