Although childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common pediatric cancer, its etiology remains poorly understood. In an attempt to replicate the findings of 2 recent genome-wide association studies in a French-Canadian cohort, we confirmed the

Genetic Relationships and Therapeutic Options for Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [PDF]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of cancer among children and can be lethal to the adult population. Though 80% of patients with ALL reach complete remission after treatment, about 20% of those diagnosed fail to remain cancer ...

Novel strategy for rapid functional in vivo validation of oncogenic drivers in haematological malignancies [PDF]
In cancer research, it remains challenging to functionally validate putative novel oncogenic drivers and to establish relevant preclinical models for evaluation of novel therapeutic strategies.

Treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children during the last 50 years has changed significantly, which has increased the survival of patients from 10–15 % in the early 60s to 80–85 % by the mid-2000s.

No genetic evidence for involvement of Deltaretroviruses in adult patients with precursor and mature T-cell neoplasms [PDF]
Background The Deltaretrovirus genus comprises viruses that infect humans (HTLV), various simian species (STLV) and cattle (BLV). HTLV-I is the main causative agent in adult T-cell leukemia in endemic areas and some of the simian T-cell lymphotropic ...

Background Until recently, few molecular aberrations were recognized in acute lymphoblastic leukemia of T-cell origin; novel lesions have recently been identified and a certain degree of overlap between acute myeloid leukemia and T-cell acute ...

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Abstract T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is biologically distinct from its B lymphoblastic (B-ALL) counterpart and shows different kinetic patterns of disease response. Although very similar regimens are used to treat T-ALL and B-ALL, distinctions in response to different elements of therapy have been observed.

Biological aspects of mTOR in leukemia [PDF]
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central processor of intra-and extracellular signals, regulating many fundamental cellular processes such as metabolism, growth, proliferation, and survival.

Pharmacogenetics in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [PDF]
Progress in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children has been remarkable, from a disease being lethal four decades ago to current cure rates exceeding 80%. This exemplary progress is largely due to the optimization of existing treatment modalities rather than the discovery of new antileukemic agents.
