Possibilities of effective antitumor therapy of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia depending on the clinical and laboratory characteristics of the disease
2020
Purpose : to determine the optimal therapy regimens in patients with CLL, depending on age, comorbidity, prognostic (genetic) factors, clinical picture. Materials and methods: analysis of case histories of 400 patients with CLL observed at the Rostov State Medical University, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation from 2010 to 2020. Results : Immunochemotherapy according to the FCR and FCR-Lite regimens has shown high efficiency in primary and pre-treated patients in terms of the frequency of achieving complete and partial remissions and achieving progression-free survival. In untreated patients, complete remissions were obtained in 61 (71.7%), partial remissions - in 14 (16.4%); among pre-treated patients, respectively - 40 (20.5%) and 65 (33.8%). Conclusion : combination therapy according to the FCR and FCR-Lite regimens is an affordable and effective method of treatment for most patients with CLL. When the level of leukemic blood cells with 17p13 deletion is less than 15%, rituximab should be used in the first line of immunochemotherapy, and ibrutinib (imbruvica) in case of more than 15%. In mono-regimen, rituximab is effective in supportive - anti-relapse therapy and in the treatment of autoimmune complications.
