Molecular mechanisms involved in chemoresistance in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric cancer. Despite cure rates approaching 80%, resistance to treatment and disease relapse remain a significant clinical problem. Identification of the genes and biological pathways responsible for chemoresistance is therefore crucial for the design of novel therapeutic approaches aiming to improve patient survival. Mutations in the...
متن کاملAcute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a malignant transformation of a clone of cells from lymphoid progenitor cells. The majority of cases are of B-cell origin but it can also arise from T-cell precursors. Lymphoid precursors proliferate and replace the normal cells of the bone marrow and blasts spill into the peripheral circulation. It can be distinguished from other malignancies of lymphoid ...

متن کاملAcute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a malignant disorder of lymphoid progenitor cells, affects both children and adults, with peak prevalence between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Steady progress in development of effective treatments has led to a cure rate of more than 80% in children, creating opportunities for innovative approaches that would preserve past gains in leukaemia-free survival while redu...
متن کاملInfections in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
We did a retrospective study of all acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients on United Kingdom ALL protocol who were admitted for febrile neutropenia. The aim of the study was to document the types of infections and aetiological agents associated with febrile neutropenia and to document the factors affecting mortality. Over the 8 1/2-year period from 1986 to June 1995, there were 77 episode...
