Endoreduplication in Acute Leukemia [PDF]
Abstract Chromosome studies were carried out on two occasions during the evolution of a case of acute myeloblastic leukemia. A normal karyotype was detected before treatment was started. A second analysis made while the patient was under treatment with 6-mercaptopurine showed a modal number of 44 chromosomes plus a small fragment.

Understanding Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Leukemia, a Global Survey
Purpose: The Acute Leukemia Advocates Network (ALAN) sought to determine which factors are most associated with poor quality of life (QoL) in patients with acute leukemia and to determine key issues and unmet needs through administration of an online ...

Socioeconomic cost of AML in Sweden—A population‐based study using multiple nation‐wide registers
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with a high economic and clinical burden. Recently novel therapies have been added to standard treatment regimens. Here, we evaluated the economic impact of AML up until the introduction of these novel therapies.

Expression of the apelinergic system and its influence on functional properties of tumor cells
mall peptide Apelin and its cognate receptor APJ, are known to play a role in tumor angiogenesis and overall cancer progession. Certain authors suggest that the Apelin receptor is also a factor in cancer immunotherapy.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia [PDF]
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cytogenetically characterized by a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, which results in the fusion between the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene and retinoic acid receptor-α (RARα) [...]

Focus on acute leukemias [PDF]
Progress toward cure of acute leukemia is likely to occur with new therapies directed at specific molecular targets, such as BCR/ABL, FLT3, RAS, and the NCor/HDAC complex. This goal may be facilitated by modern genomic approaches to acute leukemia, including use of DNA microarray and proteomic strategies for identification of novel targets and ...

Acute Leukemia in Children [PDF]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer during childhood. Nevertheless, in recent years there have been marked improvements in treatment and consequent survival. There are a number of patients that experience relapses and patients that cannot be cured. In this special issue different aspects relating to factors influencing the best

Abstract Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death pathway that is different from apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necrosis. The main characteristics of ferroptosis are the Fenton reaction mediated by intracellular free divalent iron ions, lipid peroxidation of cell membrane lipids, and inhibition of the anti-lipid peroxidation ...
