Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative neoplasm defined by the t(9;22)(q34;q11) chromosomal translocation, primarily affects older adults. Historically, effective treatment options were not available for older CML patients ineligible for curative allogeneic stem cell transplant, and the ...

Overexpression of HOXA9 and MEIS1 was shown to be essential to drive the development and maintenance of acute myeloid leukemia [36], [37]. The situation in ALL seems to be more complex and most likely results in the activation of a “stem cell-like” genetic program by yet unknown ...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) fall under this category. The Hormone Connection Recent studies have brought to light a compelling connection between hormones, specifically testosterone, and the development of leukemia. While researchers are still piecing together the...
February 11, 2022 0 Deborah M. Stephens, DO, traces the course of therapeutic innovation forchronic lymphocytic leukemiafrom recent decades, in which established chemotherapeutic and immunologic approaches represented the standard of care, to later periods, in which various targeted therapies were develop...
Treatment ofchronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL), one of four common types of leukemia, requires an individualized approach. Your medical team will present a variety of possible therapies to you—drugs like chemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies, radiation, stem cell transplantation, and others—and discuss...
