Azacitidine as salvage therapy for acute myeloid leukemia in a severely ill patient
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy of myeloid progenitor cells that disrupt normal hematopoiesis. Current chemotherapy regimens result in complete remission in many cases; however, there exists no standard efficacious therapy for ...

Proteomics Analysis of FLT3-ITD Mutation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Using Deep Learning Neural Network [PDF]
Deep Learning can significantly benefit cancer proteomics and genomics. In this study, we attempt to determine a set of critical proteins that are associated with the FLT3-ITD mutation in newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia patients. A Deep Learning network consisting of autoencoders forming a hierarchical model from which high-level features are ...

The chromatin-remodeling factor CHD4 is required for maintenance of childhood acute myeloid leukemia
Epigenetic alterations contribute to leukemogenesis in childhood acute myeloid leukemia and therefore are of interest for potential therapeutic strategies.

Application of Deep Learning on Predicting Prognosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Cytogenetics, Age, and Mutations [PDF]
We explore how Deep Learning (DL) can be utilized to predict prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Out of TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) database, 94 AML cases are used in this study. Input data include age, 10 common cytogenetic and 23 most common mutation results; output is the prognosis (diagnosis to death, DTD). In our DL network, autoencoders

Anterior myeloid sarcoma revealing acute myeloid leukemia: Case report
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a tumor mass of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells occurring in an extramedullary site or in the bone and generally precedes or reveals myeloid leukemia. It rarely occurs in the mediastinum.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia may develop as a result of rapid transformation of a lymphoblast triggered by repeated bone-remodeling during bone-growth [PDF]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are two major forms of leukemia that arise from lymphoid cells (LCs). ALL occurs mostly in children and CLL occurs mainly in old people. However, the Philadelphia-chromosome-positive ALL (Ph+-ALL) and the Ph-like ALL occur in both children and adults.

Identification and Counting White Blood Cells and Red Blood Cells using Image Processing Case Study of Leukemia [PDF]
Leukemia is diagnosed with complete blood counts which is by calculating all blood cells and compare the number of white blood cells (White Blood Cells / WBC) and red blood cells (Red Blood Cells / RBC). Information obtained from a complete blood count, has become a cornerstone in the hematology laboratory for diagnostic purposes and monitoring of ...

The growth of malignant cells is not only driven by cell-intrinsic factors, but also by the surrounding stroma. Monocytes/Macrophages play an important role in the onset and progression of solid cancers.
