Overview
The natural history of adult T-cell leukemia varies between the different subtypes of the disease. Common complications of adult T-cell leukemia include cardiac arrhythmias, opportunistic infections , and bone fractures. The prognosis varies between the subtypes of adult T-cell leukemia; acute and lymphomatous subtypes have a poor prognosis, where as chronic and smouldering subtypes have a good prognosis.
Natural History
- The natural history of adult T-cell leukemia varies between the different subtypes of the disease.[1]
- Patients with acute adult T-cell leukemia usually have an aggressive clinical course with a median survival period of less than 12 months. If left untreated, most of the patients with acute adult T-cell leukemia will develop constitutional symptoms, lymphadenopathy, and organomegaly within a few weeks of diagnosis.
- Patients with chronic adult T-cell leukemia will usually have an stable clinical course. If left untreated, most of the patients with chronic adult T-cell leukemia will develop lymphocytosis for months, or even years, before presenting with the typical cutaneous manifestations.
- Most patients with smoldering adult T cell leukemia are initially asymptomatic. If left untreated, most of the patients with smoldering adult T cell leukemia will develop steroid-responsive skin rash and multiple lung infiltrates.
Complications
- Cardiac arrhythmias (due to hypercalcemia)
- Opportunistic infections (Strongyloides stercoralis infection is a frequent cause of death among adult T-cell leukemia patients)
- Bone fractures (due to lytic bone lesions)
- Anemia
- Recurrent bleeding
Prognosis
- The prognosis varies between the subtypes of adult T-cell leukemia; acute and lymphomatous subtypes have a poor prognosis, whereas chronic and smoldering subtypes have a good prognosis.[3]
- The 4-year overall survival rate of patients with adult T-cell leukemia is approximately 16%.
- The 4-year overall survival rate of patients with acute adult T-cell leukemia is approximately 11%.
- The 4-year overall survival rate of patients with chronic adult T-cell leukemia is approximately 36%.
- The 4-year overall survival rate of patients with smouldering adult T-cell leukemia is approximately 52%.
- The table below lists prognostic factors for adult T-cell leukemia patients:[1][3][4]
