Isotretinoin Use During Consolidation in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Following Standard All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA)-Based Induction: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) has significantly improved outcomes in patients with APL. The patient achieved molecular complete remission within two months of initiating isotretinoin-based consolidation therapy and continues to have negative PML::RARA reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results, with sustained remission at 18 months of follow-up with ongoing molecular monitoring every three months. Although the concurrent use of ATO and prior ATRA-based induction are important confounders, this case highlights the potential role of isotretinoin as a cost-effective alternative retinoid for consolidation therapy in APL when ATRA is inaccessible, although ATRA remains the recommended standard treatment.

Molecular and therapeutic effects of bioactive compounds-incorporated mucoadhesive buccal patch targeting oral potentially malignant disorders. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
A mucoadhesive buccal patch loaded bioactive components such as isotretinoin, bromelain, and limonene (IBL patch) was fabricated and evaluated for its anticancer potential against OPMD-associated OSCC. Oral acute toxicity testing (OECD 423) confirmed the safety of the IBL patch, with no mortality or adverse effects up to 2000 mg/kg (LD₅₀ > 2000 mg/kg; GHS Category 5). Collectively, these findings highlights that the IBL mucoadhesive buccal patch has therapeutic potential against OPMD and controlling pathological epithelial remodeling.

Evaluating Outcomes in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients Treated with All-Trans-Retinoic Acid and Arsenic Trioxide. (PubMed, Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus)
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is characterized by promyelocytic leukemia retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML-RARA) fusion gene resulting from at (15;17) translocation. While, TLC significantly decreased from baseline in high risk cases to last follow-up (24 × 109/L vs. 9 × 109/L; P = 0.016). Patients with APML can be successfully treated with a combination of ATO and ATRA.
