background: the induction chemotherapy regimen for acute myeloid leukemia has evolved as once induction is completed patients progress through the consolidation phase and achieve remission in 76% of cases. for patients with relapsed or refractory disease, alternative chemotherapy agents are available. monoclonal antibody therapy with biological agents, such as the immunotoxin gemtuzumab ozogami...

acute myeloid leukemia (aml-m7) is a type of pediatric aml accounting for 3–10% of primary childhood aml and children may present with a broad variety of symptoms including low-grade fever, diarrhea, easy bruising, failure to gain weight and life-threatening conditions. we report a rare case of aml .a 26-month-old boy who presented with weakness and fatigue. he was diagnosed as a case of amlm-7...

background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. among different genetic factors npm1, flt3, mll and baalc genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. the aim of this study was to assess amount of baalc gene expression in aml patients, and i...

t cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is an invasive disease with a higher incidence in children and adolescents. in terms of immunophenotype, t-all is positive for cd2, cd7, cd34 and hla-dr, and the level of these markers is increased with increasing age. in addition, the myeloid markers (cd13, cd33) are sometimes expressed in t-all. in this study, we introduce a rare case of a 28-year-old...

background : acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is a disease in elderly patients, with a mean age of diagnosis of 70 years. we have analyzed the clinicopathology features and experimental variables in aml patients in eastern iran and the correlation between survival and fab subgroups of aml. materials and methods : during 2009 to 2014 in a retrospective study, 98 patients with aml referred to the cli...

background: the human aml1 gene, located on chromosome 21, can be fused to the aml1- eight-twenty-one (eto) oncoprotein on chromosome eight, resulting in a t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. acute myeloid leukemia (aml) associated with this translocation is considered a distinct aml with a favorable prognosis. due to the various incidences of the translocation, which is associated with geographic ...

background : fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 is a tyrosine kinase receptor that plays an important role in proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. internal tandem duplication and tyrosine kinase domain mutation are the two most common types of fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutations frequently reported in acute myeloid leukemia associated with pathogenesis of this disease. the pr...

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is blood and bone marrow malignancy. Low-density oxidative lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a pro-inflammatory factor that has free radicals in its structure. OxLDL levels are also rising in diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Studies have shown that oxLDL and dyslipidemia are more common in patients with various cancers. This stud...

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 h...
