1 Introduction. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignantly clonal disorder characterized by blockage of differentiation in the myeloid lineage and an accumulation of its immature progenitors in bone marrow, leading to hematopoietic failure. In China, it was predicted that there were about 75,300 newly diagnosed leukemia cases in 2015; meanwhile, it was estimated that about 53,400 Chinese ...

Introduction. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults, accounting for ~80 percent of cases in this group. 1 Within the United States, the incidence of AML ranges from three to five cases per 100 000 population. In 2015 alone, an estimated 20 830 new cases were diagnosed, and over 10 000 patients died from this disease. 2 The incidence of AML increases with age ...

Rare and emerging subtypes of leukemia can be incredibly challenging to diagnose and even more challenging to treat. At the NCCN 2019 Annual Congress: Hematologic Malignancies, a panel of experts, moderated by Andrew D. Zelenetz, MD, PhD, were presented with particularly challenging cases in these malignancies and asked to discuss best approaches to treatment.

In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), malignant transformation and uncontrolled proliferation of an abnormally differentiated, long-lived myeloid progenitor cell results in high circulating numbers of immature blood cells and replacement of normal marrow by malignant cells. Symptoms include fatigue, pallor, easy bruising and bleeding, fever, and ...

The patient then evolved to therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia in fall 2019 after the bone marrow blast count passed 20%. Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia is thought to make up 5%-20% of all myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Acute Leukemia guidelines.

Abstract. Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal cells that build up in the bone marrow and blood and interfere ...

Materials and methods: The investigation was a hospital-based case-control study consisting of 722 confirmed AML cases and 1444 individually gender-age-matched patient controls at 29 hospitals in Shanghai. A 17-page questionnaire was used to obtain information on: demographics, medical history, family history, lifestyle risk factors, employment ...

(allo-HSCT) may be the only option to cure this disease. Considering that the present study was a case report without a control group, our conclusions would be more ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia among the adult population and accounts for about 80% of all cases. It is characterized by clonal expansion of immature "blast cells" in the peripheral blood and bone marrow resulting in ineffective erythropoiesis and bone marrow failure. With recent advancements in the management guidelines, the cure rates have increased up to 15% ...

The patient has significant comorbidities, including an elevated BMI [body mass index], signifying a significant obesity, as well as underlying pneumonia and prior history of high blood pressure and diabetes.

The observed safety profile was generally consistent with that of venetoclax plus HMA observed in inpatient AML studies. With close monitoring, 2 cases of TLS were identified, appropriately managed, and the patients were able to continue study treatment. Clinical Trials Registration.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. AML is not a single disease. It is the name given to a group of leukaemias that develop in the myeloid cell line in the bone marrow. Myeloid cells are red blood cells, platelets and all white blood cells excluding lymphocytes.

Hematological profile of the study participants. The median (IQR) WBC count was 217.7 (155.62-307.4) ×10 3 /µL, which was determined for patients who were both naïve and treated with HU during presentation. The median (IQR) WBC counts for patients who were naïve and treated with HU were 261.2 (186.6-349.7) × 10 3 /µL and 188.3 (139.3-290.73) ×10 3 /µl, respectively, during presentation.

Abstract. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) represents 5%-10% of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is the most curable subtype of AML. Fanconi anemia (FA) is one of the most common inherited bone marrow failure syndromes caused by biallelic pathogenic variants (PV) in specific DNA-repair genes. Biallelic PVs in FANCD1/BRCA2 (FA-D1 ...

Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is rarely caused by the PLZF::RARα fusion gene. While APL patients with PLZF::RARα fusion commonly exhibit diverse hematologic symptoms, the presentation of myeloid sarcoma (MS) as an initial manifestation is infrequent.A 61-year-old patient was referred to our hospital with 6-month history of low back pain and difficulty walking.
