| Abstract: | The prognostic relevance of additional cytogenetic findings at diagnosis
of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is unclear. The impact of additional
cytogenetic findings at diagnosis on time to complete cytogenetic
(CCR) and major molecular remission (MMR) and progression-free (PFS)
and overall survival (OS) was analyzed using data from 1151 Philadelphia
chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) CML patients randomized to the German
CML Study IV. At diagnosis, 1003 of 1151 patients (87\%) had standard
t(9;22)(q34;q11) only, 69 patients (6.0\%) had variant t(v;22), and
79 (6.9\%) additional cytogenetic aberrations (ACAs). Of these, 38
patients (3.3\%) lacked the Y chromosome (-Y) and 41 patients (3.6\%)
had ACAs except -Y; 16 of these (1.4\%) were major route (second
Philadelphia [Ph] chromosome, trisomy 8, isochromosome 17q, or trisomy
19) and 25 minor route (all other) ACAs. After a median observation
time of 5.3 years for patients with t(9;22), t(v;22), -Y, minor-
and major-route ACAs, the 5-year PFS was 90\%, 81\%, 88\%, 96\%,
and 50\%, and the 5-year OS was 92\%, 87\%, 91\%, 96\%, and 53\%,
respectively. In patients with major-route ACAs, the times to CCR
and MMR were longer and PFS and OS were shorter (P | ||||||
