CLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Acute mixed lineage leukemia in children: the experience of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital
To characterize the biology and optimal therapy of acute mixed-lineage leukemia in children, we reviewed the pathologic and clinical features, including response to therapy, of 35 patients with mixedlineage leukemia. The majority of cases (91%) had blasts cells that simultaneously expressed either T-lineage plus myeloid markers (T/myeloid, n 20) or B-lineage plus myeloid markers (B/myeloid, n 1...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Survival after transplantation of unrelated donor umbilical cord blood is comparable to that of human leukocyte antigen–matched unrelated donor bone marrow: results of a matched-pair analysis
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is being increasingly used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and has been associated with a reduced incidence of severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). To further investigate the relative merits of unrelated donor UCB versus bone marrow (BM), a matched-pair analysis comparing the outcomes of recipients of 0 to 3 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)–mismatched UCB...

متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Risks and outcomes of invasive fungal infections in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants after nonmyeloablative conditioning
The incidence of invasive mold infections has increased during the 1990s among patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) after myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we determined risk factors for invasive mold infection and mold infectionrelated death among 163 patients undergoing allogeneic HCT with nonmyeloablative conditioning. The cumulative incidence...
