Comenzando con una descripción detallada de la hematopoyesis y lo que está mal en caso de la leucemia, esta guía concisa abarca todos los aspectos de los cuatro subtipos más frecuentes de la enfermedad: leucemia mieloide aguda (AML), leucemia linfoblástica aguda (ALL), leucemia mieloide crónica (CML) y leucemia linfocítica crónica (CLL). Este libro considera las causas y factores de riesgo para cada subtipo de leucemia, las pruebas diagnósticas iniciales y confirmatorias (incluyendo métodos de citogenética y genética molecular) y las opciones de tratamiento más recientes. Tanto los efectos de la enfermedad como los efectos adversos del tratamiento siguen representando un desafío complejo y se considera el abordaje multidisciplinario necesario para una atención de apoyo efectiva. Por último, se examinan las complicaciones urgentes que requieren atención de emergencia. Diseñado como una guía integral para enfermeras especializadas, médicos de atención primaria y residentes de hematología/oncología, este recurso ayudará a quienes no son especialistas a identificar la leucemia en etapas tempranas y proporciona una comprensión detallada de la patología y la base genética de la enfermedad, las opciones de tratamiento y los abordajes efectivos a la atención de urgencia y cuidados de apoyo.

Download or read book Fast Facts Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia written by B. Wrench and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most diagnosed childhood cancer worldwide. Although rare in adults, this aggressive cancer also shows a second smaller incidence peak in later middle age. Modern genetic profiling techniques are providing a better understanding of the molecular biology of ALL, which, in turn, is leading to significant advances in diagnosis, prognostication and therapy selection. Ongoing refinement of risk-adapted frontline treatment protocols, use of novel targeted therapies and better supportive care are improving outcomes for patients with ALL. Fast Facts: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia covers the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and classification of ALL as well as the measurement of minimal residual disease to determine prognosis. It provides guidance on frontline therapies and the treatment of relapsed and refractory ALL, including the use of newer targeted agents and the role of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. Looking to the future, it also considers the approaches and refinements that are in development for ALL.Table of Contents: Epidemiology, pathophysiology and etiology Diagnosis Prognostic factors Treatment Relapsed or refractory ALL Future directions

Download or read book Minimal Residual Disease in Hematologic Malignancies written by Raanani P Ed and published by S. Karger AG (Switzerland). This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) is increasingly used in the management of leukemia patients. A wide variety of methods have been developed and include technologies designed to detect residual malignant cells beyond the sensitivity of conventional approaches such as morphology and banding cytogenetics in leukemia. The choice of the best method depends on the biology of the individual malignancy, i.e. on the determination of specific markers which are useful to differentiate between leukemic cells and normal hematopoiesis in leukemic patients. These markers include leukocyte differentiation antigens, fusion transcripts, transcripts overexpressed by mutated or nonmutated genes, rearranged genes, and individual markers like polymorphic repetitive DNA sequences. The major technologies for MRD detection, their advantages and disadvantages and their clinical applications are discussed in this special issue - from 'bench to bedside'. Providing a comprehensive overview on the significance of MRD in the evaluation, treatment and follow-up of hematologic malignancies, it will be of great value to hematologists, researchers interested in leukemias and lymphomas as well as laboratory technicians.

Book excerpt: From the era-defining author of Generation X comes a novel of overworked coders who escape the serfdom of Bill Gates to forge their own path. They are Microserfs—six code-crunching computer whizzes who spend upward of sixteen hours a day “coding” and eating “flat” foods (food which, like Kraft singles, can be passed underneath closed doors) as they fearfully scan company e-mail to learn whether the great Bill is going to “flame” one of them. But now there’s a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out on their own—living together in a shared digital flophouse as they desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.
