  2. 1. Clinical and Experimental Studies in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia : Studies of Treatment Outcome, In Vitro Cellular Drug Resistance and Gene Expression

    Author : Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Bengt Simonsson; Elin Lindhagen; Gisela Barbany; Johan Richter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medicine; chronic myeloid leukemia; adult; stem cell transplantation; mobilization of Ph-negative stem cells; in vitro assay; imatinib; gene expression; Medicin;

    Abstract : The aims of the studies described in the thesis were to investigate different treatment strategies in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Furthermore, activity of imatinib was investigated by in vitro cytotoxicity assay, and the gene expression pattern in interferon treated patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells and Other Immune Escape Mechanisms in Chronic Leukemia

    Author : Lisa Christiansson; Angelica S I Loskog; Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Andreas Lundqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic myeloid leukemia; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; sCD25; tyrosine kinase inhibitors; multiplex protein quantification; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia chromosome, a minute chromosome that leads to the creation of the fusion gene BCR/ABL and the transcription of the fusion protein BCR/ABL in transformed cells. The constitutively active tyrosine kinase BCR/ABL confers enhanced proliferation and survival on leukemic cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Clinical and Genetic studies in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

    Author : Hjalmar Flygt; Ulla Olsson Strömberg; Stina Söderlund; Lucia Cavelier; Jane Apperley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haematology; Chronic Myeloid Leukemia; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : This thesis explores strategies to enhance deep molecular response (DMR) rates and treatment-free remission (TFR) eligibility in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), investigates factors linked to treatment milestone failures, describes tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) discontinuation outcomes in a population-based cohort, and examines TFR probabilities after a second TKI discontinuation. In paper I we examined data from the Swedish CML registry on 128 CML patients in chronic phase with a reported TKI discontinuation of ≥1 month due to DMR. READ MORE

  6. 4. Clinical and Immunological Studies in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia

    Author : Stina Söderlund; Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Angelica Loskog; Satu Mustjoki; Dragana Milojkovic; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic myeloid leukaemia; accelerated phase; blast crisis; tyrosine kinase inhibitor; immunology; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; cytokines; proteomics; TKI discontinuation; population-based;

    Abstract : Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is characterised by the constitutively active tyrosine kinase BCR-ABL. Standard treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in the chronic phase (CP) of CML conveys excellent long-term prognosis but is associated with side effects and costs. READ MORE
