Re: Extramedullary relapse in high risk patients

I think that he should be treated as an advanced phase. Please have a look at the mutations in the RNA extracted from the biopsy and, if you can, also at a cytogenetic analysis (but probably this is more difficult). Then I would probably introduce chemo + TKI if possible (according to the mutation analysis) and then eventually proceed to SCT as he is very young. If SCT transplant cannot be performed, maybe I would also consider radiation therapy on the involved lymphonodes But just to start, to obtain the mutation analysis is important.
