Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allogeneic HCT) for treatment of pediatric Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with best available donor for children with Philadelphia positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has previously been considered standard practice. Since the introduction of ... Read more...

Hereditary hemochromatosis gene (HFE) variants are associated with birth weight and childhood leukemia risk.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Our original studies reported an association between the iron-metabolism gene HFE and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and a birth weight association in ALL. Through its effect on cell proliferation, iron is involved ... Read more...

Biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid and neurodegeneration in Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Progressive neurodegeneration may result in potentially severe cognitive and motor dysfunctions as a complication of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a suggested IL-17A-associated inflammatory condition. To detect this complication ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma'

Definition: A neoplasm characterized by abnormalities of the lymphoid cell precursors leading to excessive lymphoblasts in the marrow and other organs. It is the most common cancer in children and accounts for the vast majority of all childhood leukemias.
