Abstract
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) is a unique subtype of acute myeloid leukemia that is highly responsive to minimally myelosuppressive therapy with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). We and others have observed a higher than expected incidence of herpes zoster reactivation in APL patients treated with ATO. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) has been using ATO since 1997 in all relapsed APL patients, and more recently has included it in our front-line APL regimens. Here we present a retrospective analysis of the factors contributing to herpes zoster reactivation among APL patients.Entities:
