Pediatric chronic myeloid leukemia in myeloid blast crisis
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) accounts for 2-3% of childhood leukemias. About 5% of cases present in a blastic phase of CML which clinically and morphologically mimics more common acute leukemias of childhood.

Research progress on fusion genes in tumours
Abstract Background The concept of gene fusion describes the process of fusing two genes into one, which is closely linked to tumour occurrence and development and may even be the direct cause of some tumours. Due to their tumourāspecific expression and ability to drive tumour occurrence and development, there is great potential for fusion genes to be

A mathematical model for chemoimmunotherapy of chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
Immunotherapy is currently regarded as the most promising treatment to fight against cancer. This is particularly true in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, an indolent neoplastic disease of B-lymphocytes which eventually causes the immune system's failure.

Impaired DNA replication within progenitor cell pools promotes leukemogenesis. [PDF]
Impaired cell cycle progression can be paradoxically associated with increased rates of malignancies. Using retroviral transduction of bone marrow progenitors followed by transplantation into mice, we demonstrate that inhibition of hematopoietic ...

Clinical studies have shown that the tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 effectively controls BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). However, disease progression while on STI571 therapy has been reported, suggesting de novo or intrinsic ...

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.

Optimized Treatment Schedules for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
Over the past decade, several targeted therapies (e.g. imatinib, dasatinib, nilotinib) have been developed to treat Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). Despite an initial response to therapy, drug resistance remains a problem for some CML patients. Recent studies have shown that resistance mutations that preexist treatment can be detected in a substan ...

Fusion Gene Bcr-abl : From Etiopathogenesis to the Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm. CML is relative frequent disorder. Most of CML patients have Philadelphia chromosome (Ph),which is derived from a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, t(9;22)(q34;ql1 ...

[The mechanisms of taxodione-induced apoptosis in BCR-ABL-positive leukemia cells].
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are caused by a fusion protein, BCR-ABL, which induces cellular transformation by activating the signaling molecules, STAT5 and Akt. The specific BCR-ABL inhibitors including imatinib,
