Prognosis of acute myeloblastic leukemia: chromosomal correlation.
A correlation was made between chromosomal findings in the marrow of AML patients obtained during the course of the disease, some of the clinical and cytologic features, and the survival span of these patients. The median survival time for each patient was obtained by the use of log-probability paper. Of the 69 patients with AML studied, 29 showed abnormal metaphases in the marrow at least once...
متن کاملAcute Myeloblastic Leukemia in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which the blood cells demonstrate aberrant interactions with serum complement. In part, this is due to the absence of the complement regulatory protein, decay accelerating factor (DAF).

The introduction of combination chemotherapy in the treatment of adult acute leukemia has had a profound impact on the response and duration of survival of patients with adult acute myeloblastic leukemia. In the past decade, the combination of cytosine arabinoside with an anthracycline antibiotic, either daunorubicin, adriamycin, or rubidazone, has been responsible to a large degree for the suc...
متن کاملDouble minute chromosomes in acute myeloblastic leukemia.
Two patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with double minute chromosomes (dmins) are described. One patient had dmins in approximately one-third of bone marrow cells examined at diagnosis; no other karyotypic changes were observed. The dmins disappeared when the patient achieved a complete remission. The second patient developed acute leukemia as a second cancer, having previously rec...
متن کاملAcute acalculous cholecystitis complicating chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia
Acute acalculous cholecystitis is a rare complication in the treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia. Diagnosis of acute acalculous cholecystitis remains difficult during neutropenic period. We present two acute myeloblastic leukemia patients that developed acute acalculous cholecystitis during chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. They suffered from fever, vomiting and acute pain in the epigastri...
