Acute promyelocytic leukemia patients with PLZF-RARa rearrangement have no obvious differentiation-inducing effect on retinoic acid, have a poor response to traditional chemotherapy, and have poor overall prognosis. A case of acute promyelocytic leukemia with PLZF / RARa rearrangement reported in this article was treated with induction chemotherapy with arsenic trioxide combined with a new anthracycline (idarubicin) cytotoxic chemotherapy. The patient achieved complete response in the bone marrow. After the first induction, and achieved molecular remission after the second consolidation chemotherapy. At present, the patient was followed up for 40 months after hematological and cytogenetic remission, and the PLZF / RARa real-time PCR test was continuously negative.

D014212 Tretinoin An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).
