Older Adults with Ph Negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: a Monocentric Experience on Consecutive Patients Aged More than 55 years
Background: Treating with curative intent elderly patients affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an unmet clinical need. Comorbidities, lower tolerance to organ toxicities, and poor disease-related prognostic features make it difficult to cure these patients. Objectives: To analyze the outcome of ALL elderly patients aged over 55 years treated intensively or with the best supportive care (BSC) over the last 20 years.
