Development of CNS leukaemia in acute myeloid leukaemia in childhood.
In 130 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia in children below the age of 14 years in Great Britain, there were 21 cases in which the central nervous system was involved. The incidence and timing is similar to that of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; in a small number of patients who received prophylactic treatment, involvement of the central nervous system was prevented.
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...

Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...

Figure 1 shows the survival of all patients treated in two consecutive periods at the HSC. Before 1972 patients received a variety of drugs; between 1972 and 1975 daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside (araC) were used in induction, CNS prophylaxis was given with intrathecal chemotherapy and treatment continued . with 6-mercaptopurine or thioguanine for 2 years. There was no improvement in media...
متن کاملVariable detection of myeloid antigens in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
AIMS To determine whether the use of different sources of anti-CD13 and anti-CD33 monoclonal antibodies leads to discrepant results in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), which might contribute to the wide variation in the reported incidence of myeloid antigen expressing ALL in childhood. METHODS Stored leukaemic cells from 10 children with previously defined myeloid positive ALL w...
