Evolution of oligoleukemia.
Cancer 1984 May 16
Chronic lithium administration to 22 patients with oligoleukemia did not alleviate cytopenia or stimulate bone marrow proliferative activity. The authors identified, however, pretreatment characteristics discriminating two evolutionary endpoints of oligoleukemia (marrow failure, 10 patients; overt acute leukemia, 12 patients): higher marrow leukemic infiltrate, normal myeloid precursor proportion, platelet count, and female sex all favored eventual transition to overt leukemia which, in comparison with marrow failure, was associated with a significantly longer survival duration from symptoms. For patients developing overt leukemia, survival from diagnosis was inversely correlated with the degree of marrow leukemic infiltrate. The lack of lithium responsiveness in oligoleukemia is consistent with the concept of differentiated leukemia with abnormalities either at the level of a lithium-responsive adherent cell elaborating colony stimulating activity (CSA) or at the level of CSA-responsive CFUs.
