Lymphocyte count found to be a predictor of survival for young patients with leukemia
One simple blood test could predict relapse or survival for children and young adults with acute leukemias. view more (2007-05-08)
AMN107 has potent activity in leukemia resistant to Gleevec
The targeted agent AMN107 can produce dramatic benefits in patients with some forms of leukemia that are resistant to Gleevec, the standard therapy for these cancers, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-12-12)
Molecular detectors may refine cancer treatment
University of Florida researchers have successfully used molecular probes to detect subtle differences in leukemia cells from patient samples, an achievement that could lead to more effective ways to diagnose and treat cancer. view more (2007-07-20)
Two suppressor molecules affect 70 genes in leukemia
By restoring two small molecules that are often lost in chronic leukemia, researchers were able to block tumor growth in an animal model. view more (2008-04-25)
CDX2 — A protein that promotes leukemia
Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Boston, have found that most individuals with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) inappropriately express a protein known as CDX2 in their leukemic cells. view more (2007-03-08)
Dual role in breast tissue for a protein involved in leukemia
A protein known to play a role in growth of some types of leukemia appears to have a mixed function in breast cancer development, say researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-06-15)
Van Andel Institute Researchers Find Gene that Could Lead to New Therapies for Bone Marrow Disease
Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) researchers are one step closer to finding new ways to treat Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a bone marrow disease that strikes up to 15,000 people each year in the United States, and that sometimes results in acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2009-09-29)
Study validates means to measure possible leukemia marker
A study led by cancer researchers at The Ohio State University has validated a method for reliably measuring variations in certain proteins that may make good biomarkers in chronic leukemia patients. view more (2009-05-01)
Scientists uncover indicator that warns leukemia is progressing to more dangerous form
Scientists at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego, Stanford University School of Medicine and other centers have identified a mechanism by which a chronic form of leukemia can progress into a deadlier stage of the disease. view more (2009-02-17)
Syracuse University researchers discover new way to attack some forms of leukemia
Each year, some 29,000 adults and 2,000 children are diagnosed with leukemia, a form of cancer that is caused by the abnormal production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. view more (2008-10-29)
Novel strategy under study for aggressive leukemia
A novel strategy to hopefully beat into oblivion one of the most aggressive forms of acute myelogenous leukemia combines the strengths of some of the newest leukemia agents, researchers say. view more (2007-09-25)
Mutations point the way to new leukemia drugs
New research indicates that drugs that target a cell growth pathway known as the JAK-STAT pathway are likely to be effective against certain chronic leukemias. view more (2006-07-18)
New treatment option breaks Leukemia's resistance to chemotherapy, radiation therapy
German researchers set out to outwit cancer tumor cells that have become resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy and ended up expanding therapeutic applications of radionuclides in fighting leukemia. view more (2006-06-05)
Rate of secondary cancers increases over years after treatment for childhood leukemia
Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a significantly increased risk of secondary cancers developing over 30 years after leukemia treatment when compared to the general population. view more (2007-03-21)
Survivors of childhood leukemia, brain tumors more at risk for strokes later in life
Children who are successfully treated for brain tumors or leukemia are more likely to have strokes later in life, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2006-11-20)
New hope for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Patients treated with lenalidomide for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or disease that no longer responds to chemotherapy have experienced a major response to therapy, according to a phase II study conducted by Asher Chanan-Khan, MD, Department of Medicine, Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI). The results are published in the December... view more... (2006-12-05)
A miR boost enables acute leukemia cells to mature
A new study by Ohio State University cancer researchers shows that boosting the level of a molecule called miR-29b in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can reverse gene changes that trap the cells in an immature, fast growing state of development. view more (2009-04-03)
St. Jude gene study reveals basis of anticancer drug resistance in childhood leukemia
The first analysis of the genetic determinants of resistance to the anti-cancer drug methotrexate in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) could offer a pathway to predicting such resistance and treatments to overcome it, according to a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital study. view more (2008-04-16)
University of Pittsburgh discovers genetic 'shut down' trigger in healthy immune cells
A fundamental genetic mechanism that shuts down an important gene in healthy immune system cells has been discovered that could one day lead to new therapies against infections, leukemia and other cancers. view more (2007-05-10)
Research shows cord blood comparable to matched bone marrow
University of Minnesota researchers report that umbilical cord blood transplants may offer blood cancer patients better outcomes than bone marrow transplants, according to an analysis of outcome data performed at the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. view more (2007-06-08)
