Impact of extramedullary disease in AML patients undergoing sequential RIC for HLA-matched transplantation : occurrence, risk factors, relapse patterns, and outcome

© 2023. The Author(s)..

We sought to evaluate the role of extramedullary disease (EMD) in sequential RIC retrospectively analyzing data of 144 high-risk AML patients undergoing HLA-matched transplantation. Median long-term follow-up was 11.6 years. Eighteen percent of patients (n = 26/144) presented with extramedullary AML (EM AML) or a history of EMD at time of transplantation. Overall relapse rate was 25% (n = 36/144) with 15% (n = 21/144) of all patients developing isolated BM relapse and 10% (n = 15/144) developing EM AML relapse with or without concomitant BM relapse (EM ± BM). Manifestation of EM relapse after transplantation occurred frequently at multiple sites and presented mostly as solid tumor mass. Only 3/15 patients with EM ± BM relapse showed a prior EMD manifestation. EMD prior to allogeneic transplantation had no impact on post-transplant OS when compared to non-EMD (median post-transplant OS 3.8 years versus 4.8 years; ns). Risk factors (p =  < 0.1) for EM ± BM relapse included younger age and a higher number of prior intensive chemotherapies, whereas the presence of chronic GVHD was a protective factor. Median post-transplant OS (15.5 months vs. 15.5 months), RFS (9.6 months vs 7.3 months), and post-relapse OS (6.7 months vs. 6.3 months) were not significantly different between patients with isolated BM vs. EM ± BM relapse. Taken together, occurrence of EMD prior to as well as of EM ± BM AML relapse after transplantation was moderate, presenting mostly as solid tumor mass after transplantation. However, diagnosis of those does not seem to influence outcomes after sequential RIC. A higher number of chemotherapy cycles prior to transplantation was identified as recent risk factor for EM ± BM relapse.
