FLT3 Length Mutations as Marker for Follow-Up Studies in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia [PDF]
Length mutations within the FLT3 gene (FLT3-LM) can be found in 23% of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and thus are the most frequent mutations in AML. FLT3-LM are highly correlated with AML with normal karyotype and other cytogenetic aberrations of the ...

Clinical relevance of circulating tumour cells in the bone marrow of patients with SCCHN [PDF]
Background: Clinical outcome of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) depends on several risk factors like the presence of locoregional lymph node or distant metastases, stage, localisation and histologic differentiation of the ...

Identifying a sufficient core group for trachoma transmission. [PDF]
BackgroundIn many infectious diseases, a core group of individuals plays a disproportionate role in transmission. If these individuals were effectively prevented from transmitting infection, for example with a perfect vaccine, then the disease would ...

Flowcytometric and DNA Analysis Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in Childhood B-Lineage lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Background: Induction Chemotherapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia achieves complete remis¬sion in over 90% of children. It is apparent therefore that many patients in clinical remission and with¬out residual disease detectable by conventional light ...
