Cytogenetic characterization of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Nicaragua.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Within the frame of a twinning programme with Nicaragua, The La Mascota project, we evaluated in our study the contribution of cytogenetic characterization of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as prognostic factor compared to clinical, ... Read more...

Prognostic value of proangiogenic cytokines in children with lymphomas.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis and proangiogenic cytokines are involved in neoplastic development. The role of these processes in lymphoma formation has not been established. The aim of the study was to assess angiogenesis on the basis of serum levels of ... Read more...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in children and adolescents: A comprehensive review of the current literature.

13 Dec 2009 Standards for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) in children do presently not exist. Thus a systematic review and summary of the current literature was conducted serving as a basis for the further development of optimal ... Read more...
