Overview

The mainstay of therapy for symptomatic mast cell leukemia patients is immunochemotherapy.[1][2]

Medical Therapy

Therapeutic approaches are limited and consist of reducing the tumor burden and conservation of organ functions.[2]

Corticosteroids

  • Corticosteroids have been recommended as a short term use in combination with cytotoxic drugs.[1][2]
  • It could also be beneficial in some situations such as:
  • Malabsorption
  • Ascites
  • Anaphylaxis

Interferon-α

Interferon-α reduces the frequency of:[1][2]

  • Histamine related attacks
  • Decrease bone marrow infiltration by mast cells
  • Decrease liver infiltration by mast cells
  • Decrease skin manifestations
  • Improve osteoporosis

2-Chloro-deoxy-adenosine

2-Chloro-deoxy-adenosine has a potential value in the treatment of mast cell leukemia with symptomatic responses and improvement in mast cell variables.[1][2]

Cladribine

Cladribine has been used in rare cases of mast cell leukemia with relatively small or no efficacy.[1][2]

Imatinib

Imatinib does not have direct effect on the D816V KIT mutation, but it may affect other sporadic mutations.[1][2]

Dasatinib

Dasatinib demonstrates significant inhibitory activity against WT KIT as well as juxtamembrane domain mutant KIT. This activity has been proven in patients negative for D816V KIT.[1][2]

Nilotinib

Nilotinib displays also equipotent activity to imatinib in D816V c-KIT negative patients.[1][2]
