Remission Induction by Arsenic Trioxide in Patient with Relapsed Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia after Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) therapy induces complete remission in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) via differentiation ofthe APL cells. Recent clinical trials in China and United states showed that arsenic trioxide (ATO) is an effective and relatively safe drug in thetreatment of APL.
The patients was 29-year-old woman with APL who had been treated heavily with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 4 years ago and reinduction chemotherapy puls donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) after relapse in 2 years ago. After diagnosis for relapse, she had been treated with ATRA, but unfortunately failed. She was treated with ATO at the dose of 10 ㎎/day intravenously for 6 weeks. Complete remission was achieved at weeks and the cumulative dose of ATO during induction was 420㎎. She had complete remission without severe adverse effects except mild impairment of liver function and is following up for 6 months.
We report a case o fremission induction by ATO in ATRA refractory APL patient who experienced multiple relapse after allogeneic BMT, chemotherapy and DLI.

Abstract
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) therapy induces complete remission in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) via differentiation ofthe APL cells. Recent clinical trials in China and United states showed that arsenic trioxide (ATO) is an effective and relatively safe drug in thetreatment of APL.
The patients was 29-year-old woman with APL who had been treated heavily with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 4 years ago and reinduction chemotherapy puls donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) after relapse in 2 years ago. After diagnosis for relapse, she had been treated with ATRA, but unfortunately failed. She was treated with ATO at the dose of 10 ㎎/day intravenously for 6 weeks. Complete remission was achieved at weeks and the cumulative dose of ATO during induction was 420㎎. She had complete remission without severe adverse effects except mild impairment of liver function and is following up for 6 months.
We report a case o fremission induction by ATO in ATRA refractory APL patient who experienced multiple relapse after allogeneic BMT, chemotherapy and DLI.
