  2. 1. Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Late effects in young adult survivors

    Author : Marianne Jarfelt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; adult survivor; GH secretion; body composition; bone mineral density; exercise echocardiography;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. The 5-year survival rate has gradually increased from 5% in early 1970s to over 80% today. Until now most patients have been discharged from further follow up after puberty. READ MORE

    Abstract : Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) has a unique place in the history of oncology, as it was the first cancer to be cured by drugs. It is therefore an important model upon which concepts of chemotherapy in other malignancies have been developed. Methotrexate is a major component of most contemporary childhood ALL treatment protocols. READ MORE

  6. 4. Late complications of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), with special reference to hormone secretion, cardiovascular risk and bone health

    Author : Cecilia Follin; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : growth hormone treatment; growth hormone deficiency; cranial radiotherapy; Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; cardiovascular risk factors; bone mineral density; prolactininsufficiency;

    Abstract : An increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cardiac abnormalities has been shown among adult GH deficient ALL survivors subjected to cranial irradiation. The ALL treatment includes many known risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), but little is known about pituitary insufficiencies, except for GH deficiency. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genetic changes in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and other lymphoid malignancies

    Author : Teresa Calero Moreno; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Malignant transformation of normal cells is the result of defects in cell growth control, differentiation and programmed cell death. It has been convincingly shown that malignant cells carry mutations in the genes controlling these cellular processes. READ MORE
