Or maybe you need a second treatment because your cancer has come back. Either way, you probably ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML): With proper treatment, most people with this cancer can expect to go into remission. About 80 percent who go into remission will do so within 1 month of therapy. In some people, however, the disease will return, lowering the cure rate. Chronic lymphocytic leuke...

CELL DEATH INDUCTION IN CANCER TREATMENT, WHAT WE SHOULD EXPECT? A STUDY ON UT7 LEUKEMIAMaida, Hadi OmanoviLejla, PojskiSanin, HaveriGenetics & Applications
Structural alerts are useful to predict the type of reactive metabolites and thus the mode of covalent binding behavior one might expect from a compound. However, there are nuances to this; the presence of structural alerts can be trivialized by competing metabolic pathways or the molecule may si...
Some types of cancers, such as chronic myeloidleukemia(CML), almost always have a target cell mechanism that targeted therapy can focus on. Conversely, some types ofbreast cancermay not respond to targeted therapy unless caused by a specific genetic change in the cancer cells. ...
For example, ibrutinib (1; Fig. 3), a BTK inhibitor approved for the treatment of several B-cell malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma, exhibited high potency through covalent binding to a cysteine residue (Cys481) adjacent to the ATP- binding site ...
Here, we focus on patients older than 65 years at alloHCT for whom we expect a substantial number of deaths due to other causes. We compare them to the outcomes of patients aged less than or equal to 65 years. We start with overall survival (the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimate) ...
