CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS
Cancer incidence in persons with Fanconi anemia

Institute, Bethesda, MD.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive condition associated
with congenital abnormalities, progressive pancytopenia, and a
predisposition to leukemia and solid tumors. We studied a retrospective
cohort of North American patients with FA. We calculated relative risks
of cancer compared to the general population and cause-specific hazards
of the first major adverse outcomes of FA: bone marrow transplantation
(BMT) for marrow complications, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), solid
tumors, or death from bone marrow failure. We also estimated the
cumulative incidence of each adverse event in the presence of the
competing risks. Among 145 patients with FA, 9 developed leukemia and
14 developed a total of 18 solid tumors. The ratio of observed to
expected cancers (O/E ratio) was 50 for all cancers, 48 for all solid
tumors, and 785 for leukemia; these increased risks were statistically
significant. The highest solid tumor O/E ratios were 4317 for vulvar
cancer, 2362 for esophageal cancer, and 706 for head and neck cancer. Cause-specific hazards of both death and AML peaked at 1%/y in teenage
years; the hazard of BMT peaked at 4%/y at age 7. In contrast, the
hazard of a solid tumor approached 8%/y by age 40 years. The cumulative incidence to age 48 was 10% for leukemia, 11% for death from marrow failure, 29% for a solid tumor, and 43% for BMT. The risk
of a solid tumor may become even higher as death from aplastic anemia
is reduced and as patients survive longer after BMT.
