The biology and treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults Copelan EA; McGuire EABlood 1995[Mar]; 85 (5): 1151-68Despite reports to the contrary, only a small minority of adults with ALL are currently cured. Results have improved modestly with more intensive postremission chemotherapy and with tailoring of protocols in individuals with specific subsets of ALL. The use of growth factors may further improve treatment results. The performance of allogeneic BMT in first remission is clearly effective in some individuals, eg, those with Ph1-positive ALL, but it is unclear whether it is advantageous in most individuals. There are little data supporting the effectiveness of autotransplantation, as currently performed in ALL, despite its theoretical potential. Advances in understanding the biology of ALL have led to new approaches currently under basic and clinical investigation. These include serial studies of minimal residual disease by a variety of techniques to tailor treatment, the development of conjugated MoAbs to lymphoid cell antigens and immunologic and biochemical approaches to chimeric RNA and peptides generated by abnormal fusion genes. It seems likely that substantial improvement in the treatment of adult ALL awaits better characterization of the biology of this disease. However, some improvement will occur through empirical clinical research. It is critical that physicians recognize the poor results with current therapeutic approaches and enter patients into large well-designed clinical trials.|*Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma/classification/genetics/mortality/pathology/therapy[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Antibodies, Monoclonal/therapeutic use[MESH]|Antigens, Neoplasm/analysis[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Bone Marrow Transplantation[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Chromosome Aberrations[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Combined Modality Therapy[MESH]|Cytokines/therapeutic use[MESH]|Diseases in Twins[MESH]|Drug Resistance[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunophenotyping[MESH]|Neoplasm Proteins/analysis[MESH]|Neoplasm, Residual[MESH]|Neoplastic Stem Cells/chemistry/pathology[MESH]|Oncogenes[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Remission Induction[MESH]|Salvage Therapy[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
