CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Global approach to the diagnosis of leukemia using gene expression profiling
Accurate diagnosis and classification of leukemias are the bases for the appropriate management of patients. The diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of present methods may be improved by the use of microarrays for gene expression profiling. We analyzed gene expression profiles in 937 bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from 892 patients with all clinically relevant leukemia subtypes and fro...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Differences in prognostic factors and outcomes in African Americans and whites with acute myeloid leukemia
Whites have a more favorable prognosis than African Americans for a number of cancers. The relationship between race and outcome is less clear in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using data from 7 Cancer and Leukemia Group B studies initiated from 1985 to 1997, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 2570 patients (270 African American and 2300 white) with de novo AML who received...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Amount of spontaneous apoptosis detected by Bax/Bcl-2 ratio predicts outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
The inability to undergo apoptosis is a crucial mechanism of multidrug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and the analysis of mitochondrial apoptotic proteins may represent a significant prognostic tool to predict outcome. Bcl-2 and Bax oncoproteins were evaluated in 255 de novo AML patients (pts) by flow cytometry using an anti–bcl-2 monoclonal antibody (MoAb) and an anti-bax MoAb. Th...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Single-agent CEP-701, a novel FLT3 inhibitor, shows biologic and clinical activity in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
Activating mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) are present in approximately 30% of patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are associated with lower cure rates from standard chemotherapy-based treatment. Targeting the mutation by inhibiting the tyrosine kinase activity of FLT3 is cytotoxic to cell lines and primary AML cells harboring FLT3 mutations. Successful FLT3 in...
متن کاملCLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS Outcome after induction chemotherapy for older patients with acute myeloid leukemia is not improved with mitoxantrone and etoposide compared to cytarabine and daunorubicin: a Southwest Oncology Group study
Complete remission and long-term survival rates are low for older adults treated for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Because of favorable phase 2 data using mitoxantrone and etoposide, we conducted a phase 3 study (SWOG-9333) in which patients over 55 years of age with previously untreated AML were randomized to receive mitoxantrone (10 mg/m2 per day 5) and etoposide (100 mg/m2 per day 5) [ME], o...
