Ann Hematol 2022; 101:1251-1259. [PMID: 35288759 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-022-04812-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Cigarette smoking has been associated with increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults. There is limited data on the impact of smoking in AML patients with certain cytogenetic abnormalities. The aim of this study is to assess whether cigarette smoking affected the survival outcome of patients with newly diagnosed AML with TP53 alterations. We conducted a retrospective study of patients who were diagnosed with AML at the Thomas Jefferson Hospital with presence of TP53 mutations and/or 17p deletions. Patients' sex, age, race, smoking status (ever vs. never), cytogenetics, mutational profile, induction regimen, and induction response were analyzed. A total of 102 patients were included in the study with a median follow-up of 27.8 months. Among 100 patients who had documentation of smoking status, 59 patients (59%) were ever-smokers and 41 (41%) were never-smokers. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that never-smokers did not differ in overall survival (OS) when compared to ever-smokers (P = 0.34). Univariate analysis revealed that age and cytogenetics had a statistically significant impact on survival. In multivariate analysis incorporating sex, age, race, smoking status, cytogenetics, and induction regimen as covariates, cytogenetics and induction regimen were independent prognostic factors for OS. In summary, no significant difference in OS was found between ever- and never-smokers in AML patients with TP53 alterations. Additional studies are needed to examine the prognostic impact of cigarette smoking in AML with specific cytogenetic abnormalities.

Prognostic effect of gender on outcome of treatment for adults with acute myeloid leukaemia. Br J Haematol 2021; 194:309-318.

Abstract
There are conflicting reports in the literature suggesting that one gender or the other has a better survival with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The present study was done in an attempt to resolve the issue. The effect of gender was examined on 3546 newly diagnosed patients with AML, including 548 patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) enrolled in 10 multi-institutional treatment studies from March 1984 to November 2008. Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to estimate event-time distributions for survival and multivariate models were used to examine the gender effect after adjusting for multiple risk factors. P values were based on two-sided tests. Non-APL female patients had a significantly better overall (OS) but not disease-free survival (DFS) than males, irrespective of age, initial white blood cell count, or dose of daunorubicin. No differences were observed for obese or FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD)-positive patients. Female patients with APL had a significantly better OS and DFS than male patients with APL, and differences in survival were greater for patients with t(15;17) + other cytogenetic abnormalities compared with those with t(15;17) only. Gender is an independent prognostic variable in patients with AML. Whether these survival differences are due to hormonal, genetic or pharmacokinetic differences between the sexes or differential toxin exposure such as smoking is unknown. However, the former seems less likely as patient age did not influence the survival advantage for female patients.

Abstract
With rising life expectancy, the importance of patient-related prognostic factors and how to integrate such data into clinical decision-making becomes increasingly important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of smoking status in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) treated with intensive chemotherapy. We conducted a nationwide cohort study based on data obtained from the Danish National Leukaemia Registry (DNLR). The study comprised Danish patients aged 18-75 years, diagnosed with AML between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2012. Medical records were reviewed and data on smoking status were collected. A total of 1040 patients (median age 59 years) were included, and 602 patients (58·9%) were categorised as ever-smokers and the remaining as never-smokers. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates revealed that ever-smokers had a significant shorter median overall survival (OS) at 17·2 months [95% CI (14·9;19·1)] compared to never-smokers at 24·5 months (95% CI [19·2;30·7]). Multivariate analysis revealed smoking status as a significant prognostic factor for inferior OS with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1·22 [95% CI (1·04;1·44)]. In conclusion, smoking status was found to be associated with inferior OS in intensively treated AML patients.
