tMDS/AML risk varies by type of cancer therapy
▪ Leukemogenic treatments
▪ Alkylating agents (melphalan > cyclophosphamide)
▪ Platinum compounds (carboplatin > cisplatin)
▪ Topoisomerase II inhibitors (etoposide > doxorubicin)
▪ Antimetabolites (fludarabine)
▪ Radiotherapy
➢Risks in modern treatment era?
➢New indications for standard agents
➢Novel agents

SEER: 2000-2014tMDS/AML risks after chemotherapy for adult solid tumors
▪ 17 SEER registries, 2000-2014
▪ 700,612 adults treated with initial chemotherapy for 23 solid tumors
▪ 1619 cases of second primary MDS/AML
Morton et al. JAMA Oncol 2019
▪ Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs)
compared risk with general population
7
▪ SEER-Medicare claims, 2000-2014
▪ 165,820 older adults treated with initial
chemotherapy
▪ Focus on use of known leukemogenic agents
▪ Increased use of platinum-based
chemotherapy

Conclusions
➢Increased risk of tMDS/AML after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the modern treatment era
➢tMDS/AML is rare
➢Consider gains in survival vs. adverse effects
• Particularly for survivors of first primary cancers with a favorable prognosis
➢Continued efforts to develop effective agents and cancer treatment approaches with fewer late sequelae are critical
➢Need to better understand mechanisms of leukemogenesis
