I’m a little bit confused… so let’s say someone is in a complete remission for 2 years today. Are chemoteraphy cycles included in maintenance after CR? or does the maintenance start after all the chemotherapy cycles are finished and patient starts to be on pill chemotherapy? I just don’t understand if the 2 years maintenance starts after chemotherapy cycles or after someone is considered to be in CR.

thank you very much , i have a question please , i have to present a study about mercaptopurine as maintenance therapy for ALL , but I still dont understand what does mercaptopurine do to prevent relapse ?? it is an immunosuppressent , so why it is used for the treatment of ALL ??

Mercaptopurine is a purine synthesis inhibitor -> inhibits DNA synthesis -> inhibits DNA replication -> inhibits cell division.

I know this is a very late reply but for me personally, the harshest was induction & consolidation & the prophylaxis of CNS during Maintenance .

how do ALL patients receive chemotherapy ??

[@MedicosisPerfectionalis]

What do you mean? Are you asking about the route of administration?

[@liuoyt9857]

1:54 sorry i might not be understanding this correctly...if chemo CAN NOT penetrate CNS or testes, why do we still need to give prophylaxis??? Its not going to these regions anyways@@....

[@lexd]

They give chemo directly into the CNS by giving it intrathecally when they do the lumbar puncture to see if there are any cancerous cells there at the same time. And testes are generally irradiated rather than treated with chemo I believe.

[@liuoyt9857]

@@lexd say whhhhhhaaa??😱😱 chemo directly into the CNS😲😲😲??!!!...i wonder what prophylaxis they gave prior to injecting the chemo...like MOA etc...damn~◕_◕

[@lexd]

@@liuoyt9857 the usual systemic IV/oral chemo cannot penetrate CNS, but unfortunately the CNS is a very common area for the ALL to relapse into. Because of that, it's really important to put lots of prophylactic chemo directly there. Most commonly they use methotrexate which is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor.
