Surface Marker Analysis by Monoclonal Antibodies: A Valuable Technique in Childhood Acute Myeloid Leukemia

1987

A considerable number of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) with myeloid activity have been described during the last few years (summarized in [1]). These MoAbs have been applied to the study of normal myeloid differentiation, as well as to the surface marker analysis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) [2–6]. Although there is a strong tendency for morphological differentiation to correspond to surface antigen differentiation of malignant myeloid cells [2, 3], a recent report has failed to correlate the FAB classification system with immunologic categories of AML [6].

Predictors of Early Death in Childhood Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: Results of an International Retrospective Study

2015

Abstract Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a rare subtype of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Bleeding complications occur in 80% of patients at diagnosis and contribute to a higher incidence of early death (ED) in APL compared to other AML subtypes. However, estimates of ED in pediatric APL are imprecise and factors associated with ED in children with APL are unknown. Objectives: To determine the incidence and predictors of ED, defined as death within 60 days from presentation, in childhood APL. Methods: We conducted a retrospective international analysis of children diagnosed with APL between January 1993 and December 2013. The study included 236 patients from the I…

Chromosomal rearrangements in childhood acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.

1999

Recurrent chromosomal abnormalities present in the malignant cells of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) often correlate closely with specific clinical and biologic characteristics of the disease. Certain unique cytogenetic rearrangements are associated with distinct morphologic leukemic subtypes. These rearrangements should be detectable in most children with AML and MDS with the use of complementary molecular techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), Southern blotting, and polymerase chain reaction. Apart from the diagnostic assessment, cytogenetic findings sometimes predict clinical outcome and thus also serve as prognostic …
