Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic neoplasm. Tumor suppressors have a magnificent role in preventing the AML process. The absolute lymphocyte count is a simple yet statistically powerful estimate in patients with acute leukemia besides the lymphocyte’s percentage. Aim: Investigating the prognostic value of absolute lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage, serum albumin, the aberrant expression of CD7and CD19 and the tumor suppressor genes (PTEN and p53) in patients with AML. Methods: 35 de novo AML patients were included. They received the standard induction chemotherapy (3+7 protocol) and were followed up for one year after treatment. 15 normal healthy individuals, age and sex matched constituted the controls. Results: The mean overall survival of patients with lymphocyte percentage ≤25 was low compared to those with high lymphocyte percentage (>25%) (χ2 =5.808, P=0.016). AML patients with low levels of ALC showed significantly shorter overall survival than patients with high levels (χ2 =4.587, P= 0.032). AML patients with low serum albumin were of low overall survival compared to those with normal level (χ2 =8.698, P=0.003). Patients with aberrant CD7 expression showed short survival and unresponsiveness to treatment than CD7 negative patients. PTEN gene expression and p53 protein level were significantly lower in AML patients compared to the control group. Conclusion: The decrease in ALC, lymphocyte percentage, albumin concentration and the increase in monocyte percentage indicates bad prognosis in AML patients. The Aberrant CD7 expression, very low expression of PTEN and low level of p53 could estimate the unresponsiveness to standard chemotherapy.
