ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The objective of the current study was to determine the survival probabilities of children and adolescents with acute lymphocytic leukemia treated with adapted Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) protocols and compare our results with the original BFM reports.

METHODS:

This retrospective study included 695 patients up to 19 years old treated with adapted BFM protocols between 1997 and 2018 in four hospitals in Rio de Janeiro. The 1997-2007 and 2008-2018 cohorts were analyzed separately.

RESULTS:

More than half of the patients were stratified into the high-risk BFM classification. Overall and event-free survivals were, in the 1997-2007 period, respectively, 88% and 80% (BFM standard risk group-SRG), 75% and 67% (intermediate risk group-IRG), and 48% and 33% (high-risk group-HRG). The corresponding numbers for the 2008-2018 period were 93% and 84% (SRG), 75% and 63% (IRG), and 64% and 57% (HRG). In the second period, both the OS (HR = 0.71, p = 0.011) and EFS (HR = 0.62, p < 0.001) were higher. Except for the intermediate-risk group, the latter results are comparable to the BFM.

CONCLUSION:

The BFM protocol adaptations can be safely implemented in developing countries, accounting for local specificities.
