Clinical Cytometry Management of HLN in India Immunophenotyping
Cancer Hospitals, Labs, Trained staff, Costing Immunophenotyping - Indian Data - First Meeting, 2008 (Indian Guidelines) - PT program and Standardization - Training programs
10
Management of leukemia/lymphoma – India Cancer Hospitals Labs with Ancillary Techniques Trained Staff Costing
11
No Indian guidelines for most disciplines, opinion/experience based.
Dream: Comprehensive diagnostic workup followed by a “protocol based treatment”. “WHO 2008” Reality: Protocol based treatment vis-a-vis modified one based on resources available (on individual basis) No Indian guidelines for most disciplines, opinion/experience based. 11
12
Health care in India Hospitals (Government versus Private)
Labs with Ancillary techniques Training program Costing
13
Cancer Hospitals (<25) n=60/70
Management of HLN Cancer Hospitals (<25) n=60/70 Tertiary Care Cancer Centers: 6-8 Regional Cancer Centers: 15-20 Private/Corporate Hospitals: 35-40 Medical College Nursing Homes Hematolymphoid neoplasm treated at <50 centers SCT being done at centers
14
Management of HLN Labs with Ancillary Techniques <15 FCM, Cytogenetics, Molecular Diagnostics Tertiary care cancer centers including pvt. hospitals (8-10) Stand alone private laboratories (3/4) Regional cancer centers (3/4)
15
Trained staff Structured training programs
Management of HLN Trained staff Structured training programs Medical Oncologists (Ped & Adult): 20-25/year Hematologists: 5/year Hematopathologists (DM+fellows+residents): 5+10/year There are no structured training programs for any of the ancillary techniques (both for pathologists as well as for technologists).
16
Hematopathology training in India
Management of HLN Hematopathology training in India Post MD pathologists: 3 year DM, 2 year fellowship and one year residency program. An occasional center in India train hematopathologists both in lymph nodes and bone marrow.
17
Amongst various ancillary techniques, flow is better off in..
Management of HLN Amongst various ancillary techniques, flow is better off in.. Training programs, conferences/ CMEs Larger pool of young cytometrists Students (DM, Fellows and Residents) get rotation in flow lab (2-5 months, 7-8 centers in India).

Costing of Immunophenotyping: Year 2008
19
Activity Based Costing method is used to calculate per cost test
Direct cost: Visible cost 1. One time cost of instrument Outright purchase versus Reagent rental 2. Recurring cost Reagents, antibodies, tubes, fluids, dyes and kits. 3. Annual maintenance contract Indirect costs: Hidden cost salaries, depreciable value, furniture, funds for personnel training and CMEs, ancillary equipments, stationary, electricity and rental charges Medical insurance, deputation etc
20
Per annum cost of Immunophenotyping
Direct cost of IPT Indirect cost of IPT Cost Centers Total Cost Monoclonal Antibodies 41,25,000 Equipment 4,77,313 Electricity 1,26,256 Reagents 1,57,137 Quality Control 88,435 Spares and maintenance 1,34,687 Consumables 87,197 Per annum cost of Immunophenotyping 51,96,025 Number of SM studies in a year = 1300 Per sample indirect cost is Rs 124 Indirect cost for SM is 1300 x 124 = Rs 1,61,000
21
Per sample cost of IPT at TMH, 2008 3-color, 15-18 markers
Management of HLN Per sample cost of IPT at TMH, color, markers Total cost = Direct cost + Indirect Cost = 51,96, ,61,000 = 53,57,025 Per sample cost of SM: 53,57,025 / 1300 = 4120 Costing of one IPT test - Rs (USD 100) Costing of CD34 counts - Rs (USD 40) Gujral, IJPM, 2010
22
Management of HLN Other factors Cost per test decreases as number of samples increase. Cost increases as the number of color/panels increase. Maximum expense is on reagents and consumables, followed by manpower. Cost per test is higher for specialized tests done by a pathologist. Gujral, IJPM, 2010

Treatment

Pediatric Acute Leukemia - India
Management of HLN Pediatric Acute Leukemia - India Population of 1000 million, 6000 children may develop ALL each year Three tier society (based on socio-economic backgrounds): Profile I (70%) being extremely poor who cannot afford any treatment Profile II (25%) from the middle class, and Profile III (<5%) who can afford to have the best possible treatment Treatment costs approximately 10% of western costs Government / social organizations fund pediatric cases get treated Chandy M et al 24
25
Leukemia/lymphoma - TMH
Management of HLN Leukemia/lymphoma - TMH All patients have a complete work up for diagnosis. Pediatric patients: 70% are treated with a curative intent (protocol based). Adult patients: protocol based treatment given to ALL (70%), AML (70%), CML (100%), CLL (70%), NHL (90%). Gujral, Leukemia 2009 25

44
March 2005, Mumbai TMH started a ILCP for IPT Five local laboratories joined (sample sent, results, feedback) Quarterly meetings 44
45
After 6 cycles of the PT program
Results: Wide variation starting from sample collection, clone and fluorochrome conjugates selection, processing, gating strategies, analysis and reporting format Planned First Meeting 45
46
Focus on “Indian Guidelines for Panel selection” Antibody panel selection plays a vital role in obtaining an accurate diagnosis. Lot of diversity in panel selection. Numerous guidelines have addressed antibody panels. Most Guidelines - North America and Europe Other issues: Sample collection, transport, viability, adequacy of cell yield, storing of samples - recommendations as described elsewhere1,2 46
47
Avoid ultrashort panels
Goals Propose guidelines for a minimal antibody panel without compromising on accuracy To enable uniformity in reporting Educational exercise (evolving technology) PT program Avoid ultrashort panels 47 47
48
Over next three years ( ), consensus Guidelines were formulated based on: - Published Data (Indian and western) - Results of the PT program - Practice Based Questionnaire and - Experience/opinion These documents were circulated, taking opinion from cytometrists, hematopathologists, medical and pediatric oncologists and others 48

57
At same time were published
2006 Bethesda International Consensus Guidelines. 57
58
Bethesda uses a panel of antibodies which are sensitive to pick up cells of a particular lineage.3 Most guidelines use a panel of antibodies for diagnosis of AL or CLPD A combination of markers is used for a particular medical indication or symptom (for example lymphadenopathy or blasts in the blood) Wood et al, Clinical Cytometry, 2007 58
59
Similarities and Differences Bethesda versus Indian approach
US – indication based, Indian - morphology (& clinical) based Both rely on a screening panel - 33 versus 10 antibodies US - comprehensive panels, more T-cell reagents in screening Secondary reagents differ Indian – don’t address maturation pattern, CD45 gating optional Indian panel includes CD23, FMC7 in primary screen Leukemia, 2009 Cytometry A, 2009 59
