  4. 12. Prognostic markers in acute myeloid leukemia : A candidate gene approach

    Author : Ingrid Jakobsen; Kourosh Lotfi; Henrik Gréen; Anna Fyrberg; Christian Thiede; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The standard treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) consists of induction chemotherapy, most commonly daunorubicin together with the nucleoside analogue cytarabine (Ara-C), followed by consolidation chemotherapy and in selected cases allogenic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Despite a high initial response rate, a considerable proportion of all AML cases eventually suffer from relapse and the five-year overall survival rate in patients >60 years is only around 15%.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life-threatening disease affecting millions of people globally. The more severe forms are considered to be a consequence of an unbalanced systemic inflammatory response to infection, causing organ dysfunction, vascular leakage and hypotension. An early diagnosis followed by appropriate antimicrobial therapy is critical for the outcome. READ MORE

  6. 14. Prognostic molecular markers of childhood leukemia

    Author : Fredrika Gauffin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Abstract : During the last decades there has been a dramatic increase in survival rates for childhood leukemia, resulting today in an overall survival close to 90 % for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This accomplishment is largely due to treatment protocols based on careful risk group assessment guiding the type and intensity of the anti-leukemic treatment. READ MORE
