Leukemia - Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm - Myelodysplastic Syndromes - Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms |
| Purpose: |
|
RATIONALE: Cytogenetic tests may help predict how cancer will respond to treatment and allow
doctors to plan more effective therapy.
PURPOSE: This diagnostic trial is studying genetic differences in patients with treated and
untreated acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes,
or multiple myeloma.

| Study Summary: |
|
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with acute myeloid
leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or multiple myeloma.
- Correlate specific chromosomal abnormalities with clinical and laboratory parameters in
these patients.
- Correlate specific karyotype groups with treatment response rates, response duration,
survival, and cure in patients treated with various induction and post-induction
regimens.
- Correlate specific karyotype groups with multidrug resistance data in these patients.
- Identify new chromosome abnormalities important in leukemogenesis.
- Correlate specific karyotype groups with epidemiological data (toxic exposure and
family history) in these patients.
- Determine karyotype changes at relapse and the influence of the type of change (or no
change) in karyotype at relapse in subsequent clinical courses in these patients.
- Correlate specific karyotype groups with selected molecular abnormalities as studied in
CALGB leukemia protocols.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients undergo collection of bone marrow and blood specimens for cytogenetic analysis at
diagnosis, complete remission, and relapse. Specimens are karyotyped and examined for
chromosomal abnormalities.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 6,400 patients will be accrued for this study.
