Targeting EIF4E signaling with ribavirin in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Simultaneous Neuroblastoma and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in an Infant

Infant Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in infants under 12 months of age accounts for about 4% of childhood ALL and differs from ALL in older children with respect to immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular genetic features. In contrast to the predominance of male sex in older children with ALL, there is a slight predominance of girls in infant ALL (1). In infant leukemia, all necessary genetic...

Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL.  Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...

Brain MRI Findings in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background: Patients with leukemia are facing more complications in order to achieve longer survival. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of central nervous system abnormalities (CNS) on MRI of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: Sixty-six children with diagnosis of ALL aged 2-18 years were recruited. Non-contrast sequences of brain MRI in addition to diffusion weighted i...
