background: acute myeloid leukemia, as most cancers, results from exposure to carcinogens and an impaired inherited individual capacity to eliminate xenobiotics. the present case-control study measures the relationship between glutathione s-transferase (gst) t1 and m1 null genotypes and the risk of acute myeloid leukemia. methods: we identified the gstt1 andgstm1 genotypes by multiplex polymera...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 , 2 (HTLV-1, 2) is endemic in Particular Areas of the world in which it is associated with myeloid leukemia.In this study, we described the prevalence of HTLV-1, 2 in myeloid leukemia and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Iran. We have worked with tissue and blood samples for 2 years. These were the same samples which were positive for myeloid leukemia, Mycoba...

background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) with translocation (3,3) is a form of aml that may present de novo or may arise from a previous myelodysplastic syndrome. it is often associated with normal or elevated peripheral blood platelet count and increased bone marrow megakaryocytes with associated multi lineage dysplasia. a subset of patients present with hepatosplenomegaly while a few cases ha...

Acute leukemia which is the most common cancer in children is a heterogeneous group of clonal malignancies. The conversion of the leukemic cell lineage during the course of the disease or later is termed lineage switch. It has been rarely reported in the literature. In leukemia lineage switch, conversions from lymphoblastic leukemia to myeloid leukemia or vice versa are reported. Herein, we rep...

myeloproliferative neoplasms (mpns) such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis and chronic myeloid leukemia have too similar and accurate way to differentiate their is study of genetic disorders in these patients. philadelphia chromosome is a sure way to definitively diagnose cml. recently, jak2v617f mutation introduced as a diagnostic marker for other myeloprol...

homogeneously staining regions (hsr) or double minute chromosomes (dmin) are autonomously replicating extra-chromosomal elements that are frequently associated with gene amplifi cation in a variety of cancers. the diagnosis of leukemia patients was based on characterization of the leukemic cells obtained from bone marrow cytogenetics. this study report two cases, one with acute myeloblastic leu...

chemotherapeutic agents used in patients with cancer cause to generate the enormous amounts of free radicals associated with cell injury. in this study we assess the effects of chemotherapy regimen on oxidant/antioxidant status in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml). 38 newly diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia were recruited in this study. all patients received cytarabine and...
