Abstract
The spectrum of benign B-cell precursors, known as hematogones (HGs), shows a significant morphological and immunophenotypic overlap with their malignant counterpart i.e. B-lymphoid blasts (BLBs). This results in a diagnostic dilemma in assessment of cases wherein there is a physiological preponderance of HGs and also poses a significant challenge in measurable residual disease assessment in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Consequently, expression patterns of various immunophenotypic markers are considered the most important tool in identification and delineation of HGs from BLBs. However, certain aspects of B-cell compartment evaluation by flow cytometric immunophenotyping and its relevance in clinical scenarios is yet to be defined precisely. This review summarizes current flowcytometric data on HGs and its discrimination from BLBs based on thorough review of literature and evaluation of in-house data. Furthermore, it focuses on the utility of an additional analytical tool i.e., radar plot for a comprehensive representation of various subsets of the B-cell compartment and their differentiation from BLBs.

[PMID: 36495254 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.30138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated hematogones (HGs) expansion to be associated with favorable outcomes in hematological diseases, especially in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of cancer in children. As of now, minimal residual disease (MRD) remains the most compelling independent prognostic factor in childhood ALL. There is need for more prognostic tools for evaluating relapse risk. PROCEDURE The goal of this study was to assess the prognostic value of HGs on relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in childhood ALL. In this prospective cohort study, a total of 122 subjects with definitive diagnosis of precursor B lymphoblastic leukemia were evaluated. Flow cytometric HG detection was performed in bone marrow aspirates after induction and consolidation therapy. RESULTS The median follow-up period of patients was 35.5 ± 9.4 (SD) months. Patients who had at least 1.0% HGs had a significantly better RFS (p = .023). Moreover, univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that positive HGs were independently associated with longer RFS (unadjusted model: hazard ratio = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.12-0.91, p = .031; adjusted model: hazard ratio = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.11-0.82, p = .020). CONCLUSIONS Along with the role of MRD, our study shows the significance of HGs as an independent prognostic factor. The results indicate the independent prognostic value of HGs on RFS after adjustment for other prognostic factors, and can be beneficial for risk stratification and treatment modifications amongst pediatric B-cell ALL patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential for effective cancer control and have been widely analyzed in childhood cancer. However, few studies have described the time to diagnosis and treatment in children with ALL. This study investigated delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation and their impact on survival. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 419 patients 0 to 14 years old at a tertiary hospital between 2011 and 2015. The optimal cutoff values for delays were determined by X-tile software. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression models were used to evaluate the impact of delays on survival. RESULTS The median diagnosis, treatment, and total delays were 21 (interquartile range [IQR]: 11-35), 4 (IQR: 2-7), and 26 (IQR: 16-43) days, respectively. The results of multivariate analyses showed that diagnosis delay, risk stratification, and minimal residual disease level were independent predictors for treatment outcome in childhood ALL. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that a longer time to diagnosis negatively affected the clinical outcome of childhood ALL. Reducing the time to diagnosis could help to improve survival in these patients.

CYTOMETRY PART B-CLINICAL CYTOMETRY 2021; 100:645-651. [PMID: 33905180 DOI: 10.1002/cyto.b.22003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Morphologically and immunophenotypically, the number of B-lymphocyte progenitor cells, so-called hematogones increases after chemotherapy and allogeneic stem cell transplantions. It is thought that hematogones can be used as a prognostic marker in these patients. It is aimed to determine the prognostic significance and factors affecting the development of hematogones, which can be seen after autologous stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. METHODS This retrospective and single center study includes 80 patients who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation with the diagnosis of MM in our clinic between January 2013 and December 2019. The primary endpoint of the study was the relationship between the presence and rate of hematogone (HG) and progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint was to identify the factors affecting the development of HG. RESULTS HG was detected in 61.2% of the patients. There was a moderate and positive linear correlation between the amount of stem cells given and HG ratio (r = 0.387, p = 0.000). PFS and OS were significantly shorter in the group with HG (p = 0.000 and p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS HG positivity after autologous stem cell transplantation was found to be an independent prognostic marker for PFS and OS in patients with MM. There is a positive relationship between the amount of stem cells used during transplantation and the ratio of HG. As the amount of stem cells increases, the ratio of HG increases and when the ratio of HG increases, PFS and OS become shorter.

Abstract
Several studies have reported an association between the rapidity of reduction in peripheral blood blast count or recovery of normal hematopoiesis and treatment outcome during therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, little is known about the impact of both of these aspects on prognosis in pediatric ALL. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the combined use of blood blast count and platelet count could predict event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) when minimal residual disease (MRD) detection was not available.A total of 419 patients aged 0 to 14 years diagnosed and treated for ALL between 2011 and 2015 were enrolled.Patients with a blast count ≥0.1 × 109/L on day 8 exhibited significantly lower survival rates than that in those with blast counts <0.1 × 109/L. The EFS and OS in patients with platelet count ≥100 × 109/L on day 33 were significantly higher than those with platelet counts <100 × 109/L. In univariate and multivariate analyses, patients with low blast count on day 8 and high platelet count on day 33 were significantly associated with better EFS and OS. The combination of blast cell count on day 8 and platelet count on day 33 demonstrated a strong association with MRD-based risk stratification.Complete blood count is an inexpensive, easy to perform, and reliable measurement in children with ALL. The combination of blast count and platelet count during and after induction chemotherapy was a significant and independent prognostic factor for treatment outcome in pediatric ALL.

Abstract
Peripheral blood (PB) blast cell count on day 8 of prednisone therapy has been considered one of the strongest predictors of outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, little is known about the clinical features and prognostic impact of PB blast cell count at diagnosis in these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between initial PB blast cell count and clinical prognosis of pediatric ALL.The study comprised 367 patients with ALL, aged 0 to 14 years, enrolled and treated using the Chinese Children's Leukemia Group-ALL 2008 protocol between 2011 and 2015. The majority (91.6%) of patients were B-cell precursor ALL (BCP ALL), and 8.4% were T-cell ALL (T-ALL).Patients with BCP ALL in the low PB blast cell count group (<1 × 109/L) had significantly superior survival rates to those in the high count group (≥30 × 109/L). In T-ALL, the low count group showed significantly inferior survival rates compared to both the intermediate count group (1-29.9 × 109/L) and high count group. Multivariate analysis revealed that the initial white blood cell count and minimal residual disease at the end of induction therapy were independently predictive of BCP ALL outcome, while risk stratification was shown to be an independent prognostic factor for T-ALL outcome.These results indicated that low blast cell count in PB at diagnosis was associated with different clinical outcomes in patients with BCP ALL and T-ALL, although it was not an independent outcome predictor by multivariate analysis.

Abstract
This study was aimed to dissect the prognostic significances of hematogones and CD34+ myeloblasts in bone marrow for adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) without minimal residual disease(MRD) after the induction chemotherapy cycle. A total of 113 ALL patients who have received standardized chemotherapy cycle were analyzed. Cases that were not remission after induction chemotherapy or have received stem cell transplantation were excluded. Flow cytometry was used to quantify the levels of hematogones and CD34+ myeloblasts in bone marrow aspirations, and the patients were grouped according to the levels of these two precursor cell types. The long-term relapse-free survival(RFS) and recovery of peripheral blood cells of each group after induction chemotherapy were compared. The results indicated that, after induction chemotherapy, patients with hematogones ≥0.1% have a significantly longer remission period than patients with hematogones <0.1% (p = 0.001). Meanwhile, the level of hematogones was positively associated with the recovery of both hemoglobin and platelet in peripheral blood, while CD34+ myeloblasts level is irrelevant to the recovery of Hb and PLT in peripheral blood, level of hematogones and long-term prognosis. This study confirmed hematogones level after induction chemotherapy can be used as a prognostic factor for ALL without MRD. It is more applicable for evaluation prognosis than CD34+ myeloblasts.

Abstract
Detection of aberrant antigen expression in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by flow cytometric is proposed for the quantification of minimal residual disease (MRD). There are few studies that investigate the stability of the antigen expression in children with B lineage ALL at the end of remission induction therapy and determine its prognostic impact. Between 2010 and 2015, 691 bone marrow specimens of childhood ALL were sent at diagnosis for immunophenotypic characterization, and follow-up samples for MRD were analyzed on day 33. Of these, 155 patients with MRD more than or equal to 0.01% were eligible for the study. Immunophenotypic studies were performed by multiparametric flow cytometry using four-colour monoclonal antibody combinations. Overall, 86 of 155 (55.5%) cases showed phenotype shifts at least one marker. CD19 was the most stable markers. By contrast, CD20 was significantly different between diagnosis and day 33 in nearly one third of the cases. Shifts of antigen expression was not significantly associated with EFS, RFS or OS (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that WBC and BCR-ABL have independent prognostic value in childhood ALL. Changes in antigen expressions were commonly occurred at the end of induction and not associated with prognostic value in patients whose MRD were positive on day 33.
