Witte's research has long sought to explain how disease develops on a cellular level. His discovery that a specific type of kinase activity, called tyrosine kinase, can play a role in certain types of leukemia became the foundation for the creation of Gleevec, the first targeted therapy forchr...
A comprehensive understanding of molecular mechanisms in tumor progression of NF2-related tumors will provide opportunities for exploring more efficient treatments. Currently, many drugs are being examined targeting pathways involved in the pathogenesis of NF2 [14, 94, 143]. In this section, clinical ...

I don't know if this was from the leukemia and the treatments he was receiving, but it looked like all those bruises would be painful. I usually get a small bruise any time I have an IV placed in my arm, and imagine how frustrating it would be for him as many times as he is ...
Brown’s leukemia came back, and he died of it in 2021. Except for the California man’s case reported in 2022, other HIV-positive leukemia patients who got similar treatments haven’t been free of HIV. Experts still don’t know why Brown became free of HIV. Clues From Babies Usually,...
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered sets of genes active in cancer cells and normal tissue that predict survival time and potential new treatments for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. "Patient responses to cancer treatment vary widely and often depend on subtle biol...
From September 2013 until March 2014, all the out-patients cared for at the Oncologic or the Haematologic Units and referred for the first time to the dedicated supportive care unit (SCU) for the management of the adverse effects of cancer and/or its treatments [4] were recruited for the ...
Some cancer treatments may damage the bone marrow or damage the red blood cells’ ability to carry oxygen. If the bone marrow is damaged, it can’t make red blood cells fast enough to replace the ones that die or are destroyed [37]....
