Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukemia in the Western world. Host immune surveillance caused mainly by the disease itself is speculated to be responsible for high incidence of secondary neoplasms. However, the simultaneous occurrence of CLL and myeloproliferative disorder in the same patient is extremely rare. In the present report, a case of an 81-year-old man who...

Fibromodulin is an extracellular matrix protein normally produced by collagen-rich tissues; the fibromodulin gene has been found to be the most overexpressed gene in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In this study, fibromodulin was expressed at the gene level (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]) in all patients with B-CLL (n = 75) and in most (5 of 7) patients with mant...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most common lymphoproliferative diseases in European population with an increase incidence elderly and senile age. However, it among that a decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR) concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated severity long-term prognosis.
 The aim study was to analyze CKD prognostic value patients CLL.

it has recently been shown that ror1, a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family, is overexpressed in leukemic b cells of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) and a subset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). in this comparative study the expression profile of ror1 mrna was investigated in iranian patients with cll and acute myelogenous leukemia (aml) and the results were compared with tho...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most commonly diagnosed type of leukemia in Western Europe and North America, and represents about 30% of all leukemias in adults. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a disease of the elderly, who are often in poorer general health and burdened with multiple comorbidities. These factors affect the decision making when choosing an appropriate method of treat...

Systemic Mastocytosis with Associated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Matter of Diseases or Prognostic Factors? Kronik Lenfositik Lösemi ile Birlikte Seyreden ...

s from 719 unique publications were screened. 502 articles were excluded: • 23 articles were not in English. • 85 articles were not conducted in humans. • 99 articles were reviews/editorials. • 295 articles investigated irrelevant phenotypes or risk factors. Figure 1. Numbers of published articles retrieved for and excluded from an assessment of candidate-gene association studies of chronic lym...

small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (sccub) is an extremely rare bladder malignancy characterized by an aggressive clinical behavior. so, it is important to diagnose this high grade disease by urinary cytology. we report a case of sccub in an old man with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) in remission, while bladder tumor was diagnosed by cytology. with this article, we aimed to review...

Introduction. The presence of aneuploidy in patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), except trisomy 12, is considered quite uncommon. Hyperdiploidy or near-tetraploidy (occurring 1?3% all CLL patients) usually confer a poor prognosis. Case report. We report patient progressive phase near?triploid karyotype. prognosis the disease was more precisely determined by applying cytog...
