Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Many patients with psoriasis have developed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) whereas few reports on psoriasis-associated APL were found in the published literature. This study was aimed to study the etiology, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of psoriasis-associated APL and to map a suitable treatment regime for this condition.', 'This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with psoriasis-associated APL diagnosed and treated in our hospital in the past decade.', 'The 17 patients accounted for 8.3% of the total patients diagnosed with de novo APL during the same period in our hospital. Their clinical characteristics of APL were similar to those of general APL. Four patients had a definite history of taking bimolane. All patients received arsenic trioxide (ATO)-based remission induction and postremission treatment. After induction, 15 patients (88%) achieved hematologic complete remission. With a median follow-up of 27 months, the 3-year estimates of overall survival were 77.2%\u2009±\u200912.4% and the 3-year estimates of event-free survival were 70.6%\u2009±\u200913.5%. In addition, the ATO-based remission induction and postremission treatment significantly improved psoriasis symptoms in 83 and 85.7% of patients, respectively. Through the final follow-up, no chronic arsenicosis or secondary malignancy was observed.
Output (English): Is arsenic trioxide-based therapy suitable for patients with psoriasis-associated acute promyelocytic leukemia - A retrospective clinical study?
