Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. Despite remarkable improvements treatment of pediatric acute over last years, relapse still carries a poor prognosis with considerable morbidity and mortality. New immunotherapeutic approaches will change way we treated our patients results had. Blinatumomab bispecific T-cell-engaging antibody indicated for relapsed/r...

Introduction: Acute Leukemia with Mixed Lineage phenotype (MLL) is leukemia that consists of cells characterized by mixed lineage markers, both from myeloid and lymphoid cells. The incidence this only 2-5% all acute leukemias considered to have a poor prognosis.Case Presentation: A seven-year-old girl was diagnosed MLL. results immunophenotyping showed two blast populations the expressions CD33...

acute leukemias represent approximately 30% of malignant diseases in patients under the age of 15 years. leukemic infiltration of the central nervous system and testis are common events, particularly as sites of relapse in the third year after diagnosis. management of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is based on long-term chemotherapy, leading to a cure rate of approximately 80% of children and ado...

It has been identified as a proliferation marker being expressed on many so...

Drug resistance in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with impaired ability to induce apoptosis. To elucidate causes of apoptotic defects, we studied the protein expression of Apaf-1, procaspases-2, -3, -6, -7, -8, -10, and poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in cells from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia ...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND The SET gene is a target of chromosomal translocations in acute leukemia and encodes a widely expressed multifunctional phosphoprotein. It has been shown that SET is upregulated in BCR-ABL1-positive cell lines, patient-derived chronic myeloid leukemia CD34-positive cells, and some solid tumors. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN We determined the expression level of SET in 59 pediat...

some of the genotypes of cytokines are associated with acute graft versus host disease after bone marrow transplantation. the purpose of the present investigation was to find out the possible association between transforming growth factor beta-1 (tgf-β1) codon 25 polymorphism (rs:1800471) and acute graft versus host disease (agvhd) after bone marrow transplantation from the sibling with the sim...

The class I receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) HER2 is an oncoprotein that is frequently involved in the pathogenesis of tumors of epithelial origin. Here we report mRNA expression in peripheral blood and bone marrow cells from healthy donors in hematopoietic cell lines and leukemic blasts from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), chronic lymphoblasti...

background and purpose: leukemia is the most prevalent type of cancer in children and its prognostic factors vary in different geographic locations. the aim of this study was to estimate the 5 years survival rate of children suffering from leukemia in kerman, iran and to investigate the factors which might influence it. materials and methods: this was a cohort study conducted on patients with a...
