L-Asparaginase was added to vincristine and prednisone for induction of first remission in 815 children with acute lymphocytic or acute undifferentiated leukemia. This combination resulted in an overall remission rate of 93%. The addition of L-asparaginse to the standard induction regimen using prednisone and vincristine did not significantly increase the morbidity or mortality rate during the ...

OBJECTIVE Explore the feasibility of allo- hemopietic stem cell transplants in treating patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. METHODS Between september 2006 and February 2011, fifteen patients with B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were treated by allo-hemopietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). Stem cell sources were peripheral blood. Six patients were conditioned by busulfan (...

White Blood Cell (WBC) cancer or leukemia is one of the serious cancers that threaten existence human beings. In spite its prevalence and consequences, it mostly diagnosed through manual practices. The risks inappropriate, sub-standard wrong biased diagnosis are high in methods. So, there a need exists for automatic classification method can replace process. Leukemia mainly classified into acut...

The immunosuppressive effects of maintenance combination chemotherapy given for periods ranging from 8 to 28 months to 20 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia in remission were investigated. There was depression of both the primary antibody production to the hemagglutinin antigen of the Hong Kong influenza virus and the anamnestic response to the neuraminidase of the same virus. The primary...

all behaved similarly (i.e., the organism tested exhibited a relatively consistent high respiratory activity in their presence). The finding of serum-inhibitors (bactericidins) dates back to the early days of microbiology (see review of Skarnes and Watson [4]). However, it appears that specific studies on the inhibitory activity of sera from patients afflicted with leukemia have not been report...
