Abstrakt: Pediatric acute lymphoid leukemias (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer, and cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the primary treatment option. Chemotherapic drugs act by oxidative stress generation, but their clinical meaning is poorly understood. During the chemotherapy schedule, this study evaluated the antioxidant profile of peripheral blood samples from 34 patients diagnosed with type B-cell ALL (B-ALL). Peripheral blood samples were collected at diagnosis (D0) and during the induction, consolidation, and maintenance phases. The plasma total antioxidant capacity (TRAP) was determined using the high-sensitivity chemiluminescence technique. Antioxidant levels were higher on D0 compared to day 7 after treatment starting (D7) in the induction phase (28.68-1194.71 μM Trolox, p = 0.0178) and in the high-risk group (age > ten years and/or with white blood cell counts and/or > 50,000 white blood cells/m3 at diagnosis) concerning low-risk patients (253.79-1194.71 μM Trolox, p = 0.0314). Reduced TRAP was also detected in patients who died compared to those who survived (392.42-1194.71 μM Trolox, p = 0.0278). Patients under consolidation (56.14-352.05 μM Trolox, p=<0.0001) and maintenance (30.48-672.99 μM Trolox, p=<0.0001) showed a significant reduction in TRAP levels compared to those from the induction phase (28.68-1390.26 μM Trolox), reaching levels similar to cured patients out of treatment (64.82-437.82 μM Trolox). These findings suggest that the variation of the total antioxidant capacity in B-ALL during chemotherapy is a parameter that correlates to some predictors of disease prognosis.
