Significance of an intensified myeloablative conditioning regimen for myeloid malignancy and acute lymphoblastic leukemia

reduced intensity versus full myeloablative conditioning in allogeneic stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia

introduction: allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) has been reported to be a successful curative treatment in aml patients. myeloablative conditioning (mac) is used more frequent as a preparing regimen. this study attempts to compare the outcome of patients who has received mac and reduced- intensity conditioning (ric). methods: totally, 618 patients with aml underwent hsct...

Significance of Cross Lineage Antigen Expression in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Aberrant expression of cross-lineage antigens gives valuable insight into the diagnosis and prognosis of acute leukemia. In countries like India, cytogenetic tests are widely accessible. Exploring the prognostic value of an accessible test is of great importance. Therefore, establishing a population-specific immunophenotype database will enable to design an antibody panel equipped t...

PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF MYELOID ANTIGEN EXPRESSION IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

Expression of cell surface molecules associated with lymphoid and myeloid lineage differentiation on the blasts of 53 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was investigated. 1.9% of cases were only HLA"7DR+ 7.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+ 22.6% were HLA-DR+, CDI9+, CDI0+ 30.2% were HLADR+, CDI9+, CDlO±, CD20+ and 37.7% were HLA-DR±, CD7+, CD5±. Aberrant expression of one or more myeloi...

Gene Identification from Microarray Data for Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid and Lymphoblastic Leukemia Using a Sparse Gene Selection Method

Background: Microarray experiments can simultaneously determine the expression of thousands of genes. Identification of potential genes from microarray data for diagnosis of cancer is important. This study aimed to identify genes for the diagnosis of acute myeloid and lymphoblastic leukemia using a sparse feature selection method. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the expressio...
