WT1 expression at diagnosis does not predict survival in pediatric AML: a report from the Children's Oncology Group.

29 Nov 2009 WT1 is a transcription factor that is aberrantly overexpressed in acute and chronic leukemias. Overexpression of WT1 in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia has been reported, but the prognostic significance is unclear because sample sizes in these ... Read more...

Determinants of urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in Chinese children with acute leukemia.

29 Sep 2009 The 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), an oxidized nucleoside of DNA, not only is a widely used biomarker for the measurement of endogenous oxidative DNA damage, but might also be a risk factor for many diseases including cancer. Elevated level ... Read more...

Venous thromboembolism in the hematologic malignancies.

12 Sep 2009 Patients with hematologic malignancies are at high risk of thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications. The incidence of these events is greatly variable and is influenced by many factors, including the type of disease, the type of chemotherapy, and the ... Read more...
