Association of Chemotherapy for Solid Tumors With Development of Therapy-Related Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia in the Modern Era

Association of Chemotherapy for Solid Tumors With Development of Therapy-Related Myelodysplastic... Key PointsQuestionWhat is the association of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia (tMDS/AML) with chemotherapy for solid cancer in the modern treatment era? FindingsIn this population-based study of 700 612 adults in a US cancer data registry, based on 1619 tMDS/AML cases, the risk of tMDS/AML was significantly increased 1.5-fold to more than 10-fold after chemotherapy for 22 of 23 solid cancer types investigated (all except colon cancer). MeaningAlthough tMDS/AML is rare, gains in solid cancer survival from modern treatment approaches should be balanced against tMDS/AML risks and other chemotherapy-related adverse effects; continued efforts to develop effective agents and cancer treatment approaches with fewer late sequelae are needed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA Oncology American Medical Association
