Extramedullary relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in breast: a rare presentation.
Unusual sites of relapses following allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are rarely reported. Our report describes a thirty-two-year old female, who developed extramedullary (EM) breast relapse after allogenic HSCT for pre B cell Philadelphia chromosome negative ALL. She had no evidence of leukemia in her marrow demonstrating 100% full ...
متن کاملPreliminary Results of Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation of non-M3 Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT) is used as treatment of choice for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic factors in 2-year overall survival of patients with non-M3 AML who underwent allogenic HSCT. Methods: This is a Cross sectional retrospective study. Demographic data and study of variables such as age...
متن کاملRelationship between Molecular Chimerism and Graft Versus Host Disease after Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Background: Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is considered as a curative therapy for a broad range of diseases. However, complications such as relapse and graft versus host disease (GVHD) may be observed following BMT. Chimerism analysis serves as a reliable indicator of transplant outcome. Complete chimerism refers to the complete replacement of hematopoietic system by donor cells, while mixe...
متن کاملAdvances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...
متن کاملDetection of R882 Mutations in DNMT3A Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Method Comparison Study
Background: Somatic mutations in the hotspot region of the DNA-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene were recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is believed that DNMT3A mutations confer an adverse prognosis for AML patients. These lines of evidence support the need for a rapid and cost-efficient method for the detection of these mutations. The present study aimed to establish h...
