A comparison of the sensitivity of flow cytometry and bone marrow biopsy in the detection of minimal residual disease in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

چکیده
We compared the sensitivity of bone marrow biopsy to blood flow cytometry in detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) in 29 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in clinical remission after treatment. These results demonstrate that flow cytometry is more sensitive than bone marrow biopsy in detecting MRD and in predicting relapse in CLL.

Effect of IL-27 on activity of bone marrow NK cells of patient with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia in vitro
Introduction: Functional defect in immune cells is the prominent feature in hematological malignancies that lead to the expansion of tumor cells. Using immunostimulatory cytokines is one of the new therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to investigate the effect of IL-27 on the activity of bone marrow-NK cells of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients in vitro. Materials and Methods: 10 ...
متن کاملClonotypic polymerase chain reaction confirms minimal residual disease in CLL nodular PR: results from a sequential treatment CLL protocol.
Patient-tumor-specific oligonucleotides were generated for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in a highly specific and sensitive clonotypic polymerase chain reaction (cPCR). The clone-specific region of highest diversity, CDR-III, was PCR amplified and sequenced. Nested CDR-III clonotypic primers were used in a semi-nested cPCR with a sensitivity of at least 1 in 10(5) cells. Patie...
متن کاملChronic lymphocytic leukemia, biology, new diagnosis and treatment: review article
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of B CD5+cells and is the most common type of leukemia in adults. The disease is more common in men over 50 years in western countries. CLL is associated with defective apoptosis in B cells. CLL was traditionally regarded as a disease that occurs before naïve B cells meet the antigen in the lymph nodes. Laboratory diagnosis requires white blood...

AIMS To evaluate the diagnostic value of bone marrow aspirates, trephine biopsies (BMB), and flow cytometry (FC) in the assessment of bone marrow infiltration in chronic lymphoid disorders. METHODS Investigations were carried out in 110 diagnostic and follow up specimens from B cell disorders, namely: chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL; 65), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; 39), and hairy cell le...
متن کاملHow and why minimal residual disease studies are necessary in leukemia: a review from WP10 and WP12 of the European LeukaemiaNet.
Resistance to therapeutic agents is a major factor in the failure of cancer treatments. In leukemia, the resistant cells remaining in the bone marrow and/or peripheral blood constitute minimal residual disease and are detectable by highly sensitive assays when the patient appears to be in complete remission. Early detection of the expansion of residual cells permits clinical intervention with t...
