Book excerpt: For 10 years the book series Acute Leukemias has been providing updates on the rapid progress being made internationally concerning this group of diseases. The fifth volume mainly addressed experimental approaches, but the present issue presents both therapeutic and prognostic aspects of the most recent results from major multicenter clinical trials. Additional chapters report new trends in leukemia cell biology,the monitoring of minimal residual disease, and secondary leukemias, as well as new antileukemic drugs, antimicrobial strategies, and the use of cytokines. The combined efforts against acute leukemias described in this book explain the recent improvements in the outcome of patients suffering from acute leukemias.

Download or read book Acute Leukemias V written by Wolfgang Hiddemann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 870 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 150 years after the first description of the clinical picture of "white blood" and the introduction of the term "leukemia" by R. Virchow it appears, that the leukemias, and the acute leukemias in particular, serve as an impressive example for the major improvements that have been achieved in the treatment but also in the understand ing of the biology of malignant dis orders. The international symposia "Acute Leukemia" which are held at Münster since 1986 have developed into an interna tional forum to review the current progress and the future perspectives of leukemia research and therapy at a high scientific and clinicallevel. Since the possibility for active participation in these symposia is somewhat restricted we are glad to have the opportunity to extend the information that was presented at the symposium "Acute Leukemias V - Experimental Approaches and Management of Refractory Disease" which was held from February 27 to March 2, 1994 to a broader audience of basic scientists and clinicians. This meeting was especiaIly designed to discuss experimen tal approaches and the management of refractory disease which allows to evaluate new experimental therapies on the basis of preclinical studies.
Download or read book Fast Facts Acute Myeloid Leukemia written by William Blum and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This last year has seen the approval of the first targeted treatments for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) - following decades with no new developments and a poor prognosis for most patients with the disease. The new drugs reflect the remarkable progress that has been made in our understanding of the pathophysiology of AML and its underlying cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities - which differ not only between patients but also within a patient over time and with treatment. 'Fast Facts: Acute Myeloid Leukemia' provides a comprehensive yet concise foundation for understanding AML: from basic epidemiology, diagnosis, classification and the current 'standard' treatment, through to recent advances in our understanding of the cytogenetic and molecular underpinnings of the disease, such as the IDH2 mutation, and the future for tailored therapy. It will be useful to primary care providers, medical students, specialist nurses, junior doctors and allied healthcare professionals who want to develop a thorough grounding in our evolving understanding of AML and its treatment. Contents: • Epidemiology, pathophysiology and etiology • Diagnosis • Treatment • Supportive care • Prognosis and monitoring • Emerging treatments • Useful resources
