T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an aggressive hematologic malignancy which is usuallyassociated with unfavorable prognosis particularly in patients with refractory/relapsed disease.Therefore, development of novel therapeutic strategies is highly required for improving theoutcome of these patients. Although there are several studies evaluating the efficacy of proteasome<...

Concordance of MLL-rearranged acute leukemia in infant monozygotic twins is thought to be 100% with a very short latency period, suggesting that either the MLL fusion itself is sufficient to cause leukemia or that it promotes the rapid acquisition of additional oncogenic events that result in overt disease. We report the first case of discordance in an infant monozygotic twin pair. Twin A prese...

Abnormalities of the thyroid gland are among the most frequent endocrine complications observed in childhood cancer survivors. We report an 11 years old girl who developed central hypothyroidism and ACTH deficiency during the chemotherapy for CNS relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia before receiving radiotherapy. Keywords: Thyroid gland, hypothyroidism, chemotherapy, acute lymphoblastic leu...

FACTORS EFFECTIVE IN THE PROGNOSIS OF NEUTROPENIC FEVER CHILDREN WITH ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

abstract background: high temperatures have destructive effects on cancer cells by damaging proteins and structures within cells. gold nanoparticles (aunps) can act as drug delivery vehicles, especially for cancer therapy. due to the selective intake of asparagine molecules into malignant cells, aunps were coated with asparagine; and ccrf-cem human t-cell leukemia cells were treated with the ne...
