The Clinical Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia Undergoing Induction with Venetoclax and Azacitidine: A Case Report.

A combination of azacitidine and venetoclax (AZA-VEN) has been approved for the treatment of adult treatment-naïve acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. The protocol may also constitute an alternative for the treatment of patients with mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), for which no established treatment guidelines exist. It may be anticipated, that alike in AML or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the treatment of MPAL may be complicated by the tumor lysis syndrome (TLS).
