متن کاملEarly mortality in acute promyelocytic leukemia: Potential predictors
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a rare leukemia characterized by the balanced reciprocal translocation between the promyelocytic leukemia gene on chromosome 15 and the retinoic acid receptor α (RARα) gene on chromosome 17, and accounts for 10-15% of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia each year.

متن کاملImmunophenotyping of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Qazvin; A cross-sectional study
Background: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent cancer in childhood. ALL is a heterogeneous type of malignancy and treatment protocols vary based on the immunological classification of ALL. The critical step for treating ALL is immunological subgroup identification by flow cytometry findings. In this study, for the first time, immunophenotypic information was evaluated in c...
