Chronic Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
AbstractA central question in cancer biology is whether malignancy arises in self-renewing tissue stem cells that suffer oncogene activation or in differentiated cells that acquire properties of unremitting self-renewal? In two papers, Weissman and colleagues document both mechanisms: chronic leukemia arising by mutation affecting the hematopoietic ...

Background Chronic myeloid leukemia is a hematologic malignancy associated with the fusion of two genes: BCR and ABL1. This fusion results from a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, which is called the Philadelphia chromosome.

Despite the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, a proportion of chronic myeloid leukemia patients in chronic phase fail to respond to imatinib or to second-generation inhibitors and progress to blast crisis. Until now, improvements in the understanding

Clinical implications of discordant early molecular responses in CML patients treated with imatinib [PDF]
A reduction in BCR-ABL1/ABL1IS transcript levels to <10% after 3 months or <1% after 6 months of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy are associated with superior clinical outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.

Prognostic impact of ASXL1 mutations in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia
While the clinical impact of mutations in the ABL1 gene on response to therapy in chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) is well established, less is known about how other mutations affect prognosis.

Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as first line treatment in chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumorpatients. Although several in vitro and animal studies demonstrated that imatinib affects immune response, few ...

Report of an Unusual Case: Testicular Involvement of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia 10 Years after the Complete Response [PDF]
Testicular extra-medullary myeloid cell tumours are rare tumours presenting in most cases with painless testicular swelling. We present here a case of 21-year-old man with painless scrotal swelling.

A dual origin for Bcr-Abl gene translocation/fusion as dynamics of synergism of the hematopoietic stem cell and hemangioblast in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Contextual BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase over-activity determines in formulated fashion the emergence of proliferation and anti-apoptosis that arise largely as derived phenomena of otherwise homeostatic mechanisms of the c-ABL gene within hematopoietic ...

Introduction In patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, tyrosine kinase inhibitors suppress the BCR-ABL+ clone and often induce complete molecular remissions.

A Case of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Presenting with Osteoid Osteoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a hematological malignancy resulting from a clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells of the myeloid series. It is developed by chromosomal translocation.
