Central nervous system chemotoxicity during treatment of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma

Critical Reviews in Oncology/hematology
Jose Manuel VagaceGuillermo Gervasini

Abstract

In the last decades, increasing success rates are being obtained in the chemotherapy of pediatric leukemia and lymphoma. However, the cornerstone of this treatment is still formed by a reduced number of drugs with a highly toxic profile. In particular, central nervous system complications remain a challenging clinical problem, requiring rapid detection and prompt treatment to limit permanent damage. Furthermore, clinicians are often challenged to discriminate between CNS involvement by the disease, toxicity of drugs or infections. This clinically oriented review will help recognize and handle the main neurologic adverse effects induced by chemotherapy in pediatric patients with lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Different clinical entities and putative drugs involved are discussed in each chapter, with clinical cases illustrating the most relevant and challenging events. In addition, specific clinical-radiological patterns of some of these neurologic events are detailed. Finally, the role of pharmacogenetics, with special focus on those polymorphisms that could help explain the occurrence of neurotoxicity, is also discussed.

Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including loss of coordination, balance, and speech. Discover the latest research on ataxia here.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric condition characterized by severe weight loss and secondary problems associated with malnutrition. Here is the latest research on AN.

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.

Cancer Imaging

Imaging techniques, including CT and MR, have become essential to tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here is the latest research on cancer imaging.
