In preliminary research, the detection of persistent leukemia-associated genetic mutations in at least 5 percent of bone marrow cells in day 30 remission samples among adult patients with acute ...

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute have deciphered a key mechanism ...

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – A unique collection of tissue samples donated by people with chronic myeloid leukemia was the driving force behind the discovery of a potentially major new treatment approach ...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer affecting children. The T-ALL form of leukemia that emerges from early T lineage cells has a poorer prognosis than B-lineage ALL. The ...

iCare 1: A prospective clinical trial to predict treatment response based on genomics-informed computational biology in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

There are many different types of leukemia, and an accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Leukemia is a cancer of bone marrow stem cells; the cells that develop into white blood cells, ...

A genetic alteration that is already routinely analyzed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia can be used to identify patients who respond to a new targeted therapy, according to a study published ...

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common leukemia in children. This type of cancer is different in children than it is in adults. Due to improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the outlook for ...

Because leukemia is a blood cancer, it can affect a person’s platelet count. People with leukemia sometimes have a low platelet count. However, other conditions can also cause low platelets. Leukemia ...
