Lymphoid blast crisis in chronic myeloid leukaemia and Philadelphia positive acute lymphoid leukaemia. 1978

Membrane markers (anti-ALL and anti-Ia antisera) and an enzyme marker (terminal transferase) have been used to define an L-type or "lymphoid" type of acute transformation in chronic myeloid leukaemia and Ph1 positive acute leukaemia. Patients with L-type ("lymphoid") blasts responded to regimens including vincristine and prednisolone (VP). The markers showed better correlation with survival than did the morphology of blasts. The clinical course of patients was variable; elimination Ph1 positive clone (and hypoplasia), return to the chronic phase and relapses (including meningeal leukaemia) were observed. In contrast, patients with myeloid blasts ("M" type of blast crisis) failed to respond to vincristine and prednisolone.
