Blinatumomab versus Chemotherapy for Advanced Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [PDF]
BACKGROUND Blinatumomab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody construct that enables CD3-positive T cells to recognize and eliminate CD19-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) blasts, was approved for use in patients with relapsed or refractory B ...

Incidence of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: Comparison of the Military and General Population. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Lymphoma risk varies by demographics, environmental/occupational exposures, and medical care between active‐duty service members (ADSM) and the general US population (GUSP). This study compared age‐adjusted incidence rates and trends of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) between these groups.

Benign TdT-positive cells in pediatric and adult lymph nodes: a potential diagnostic pitfall [PDF]
Benign TdT-positive cells have been documented in a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues. Scant data are however available on their presence in non-neoplastic lymph nodes.

Treatment of Adult Patients with Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Philadelphia-Negative Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia [PDF]
The majority of adult patients affected by B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) will relapse after an initial response, while approximately 20% will display primary resistant disease. Patients suffering from relapsed/refractory B-ALL have a very

ABL oncogene amplification with p16INK4a gene deletion in precursor T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma: Report of the first case [PDF]
AbstractGene amplification is a relatively rare event in hematologic malignancies. The ABL gene on chromosome band 9q34 is a proto‐oncogene and is the well‐known translocation partner of the BCR gene on 22q11 giving rise to t(9;22)(q34;q11), which is the hallmark of chronic myeloid leukemia and is the most common chromosomal abnormality in adult acute ...

MicroRNAs in B cell development and malignancy [PDF]
MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and play critical roles in B cell development and malignancy. miRNA expression is important globally, as B cell specific knockouts of Dicer show profound defects in B cell development; and ...

Clonal and microclonal mutational heterogeneity in high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
High hyperdiploidy (HD), the most common cytogenetic subtype of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), is largely curable but significant treatment-related morbidity warrants investigating the biology and identifying novel drug targets.

Abstract Background: The Early T-cell precursor (ETP) variant of acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (ALL) is a recognized high risk variant, recognized by the absence of CD1a, with aberrant myeloid antigen expression (CD13, CD33, CD117, and CD34), and frequent absence of CD4 or CD8. Treatment intensification may improve

Adipocytes cause leukemia cell resistance to daunorubicin via oxidative stress response. [PDF]
Adipocytes promote cancer progression and impair treatment, and have been shown to protect acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from chemotherapies. Here we investigate whether this protection is mediated by changes in oxidative stress.

Co-targeting of Bcl-2 and mTOR pathway triggers synergistic apoptosis in BH3 mimetics resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
Several chemo-resistance mechanisms including the Bcl-2 protein family overexpression and constitutive activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling have been documented in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), encouraging targeted approaches to circumvent ...
