BACKGROUND Over the past several years, breastfeeding has been associated with many benefits as well as protective effects against many diseases. There is limited evidence for the relationship between breastfeeding and the incidence of leukemia. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluate the correlation of childhood leukemia and lymphoma with breastfeeding duration in children in southern Iran. ...

methotrexate is an anti-rheumatic agent used as a first-line tretment for rheumatoid arthritis. hematological malignancies like lymphoma or acute myeloid leukemia have been reported to be secondary to treatment with methotrexate, but are very uncommon. we report here the first moroccan case of ra patient on low dose mtx, who developed aml. we also reviewed all similar cases.

We screened serum samples from patients with various hematological disorders and healthy individuals for the presence of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma associated antigen (anti-ATLA) antibodies. These antibodies were detected not only in all patients with ATL but frequently in those diagnosed as T-cell malignant lymphoma or T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia; the positivity rate of anti-ATLA a...

Background:Leukemia is cancer of blood and bone marrow cells. In general, there are four types of leukemia: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).  Fractal geometry can be introduced as one of the effective ways to detect this type of cancer. In this study, with introduc...

BACKGROUND Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphoma/leukemia have a poor prognosis and are frequently treated with low-intensity therapy. The authors investigated the feasibility and efficacy of hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD), a dose-intensive chemotherapy regimen, in patients with AIDS-associated B...

BACKGROUND Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is a peripheral disease associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1. Treatment is carried out according to clinical type with watchful waiting being recommended for less aggressive types. Aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is generally treated with chemotherapy and/or antivirals. The objective of this study was to correlate the surviva...

mycotic infections have been commonly encountered in patients with hematological malignancies. the current study seeks the prevalence of actinomycete infection in patients suffering from blood cells malignancies. a hundred and fifty patients with some kinds of blood cells dyscrasia who underwent the bone marrow aspiration were recruited. in addition to the diagnostic work up, samples were exami...

Hematologic malignancy is a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults; however, data specific to children with leukemia are limited. High-quality infectious adverse event from the ongoing Children's Oncology Group (COG) standard-risk B acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL/LLy) trial, AALL1731, were analyzed provide disease-specific estimate of SARS-CoV-2 infecti...

BACKGROUND Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and aggressive NK-cell leukemia are highly aggressive diseases with a poor outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report a multicentric French retrospective study of 15 patients with relapsed, refractory, or disseminated disease, treated with L-asparaginase-containing regimens in seven French centers. Thirteen patients were in r...

background: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most common subtype of childhood cancer. chromosomal ab­normality, specially the replacement of chromosomal material is one of the main reasons in generating leukemia, wherein the kind of translocation play a key role in managing the remedy. the goal of the present study was to develop a reliable, rapid, and cost effective method to detect t...
