Asparaginase is an enzyme used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma in children. It has minimal bone marrow toxicity. Its major side effects are anaphylaxis, pancreatitis, diabetes, coagulation abnormalities, and thrombosis, especially intracranial. It is derived from 2 different sources: Escherichia coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi. Nonrandomized clinical st...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Clinical importance of minimal residual disease in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
By using rapid flow cytometric techniques capable of detecting one leukemic cell in 104 normal cells, we prospectively studied minimal residual disease (MRD) in 195 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in clinical remission. Bone marrow aspirates (n 5 629) were collected at the end of remission induction therapy and at 3 intervals thereafter. Detectable MRD (ie, >0.0...
متن کاملCLINICAL 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...
