Download or read book Meningeal Leukemia written by L. E. Broder and published by Springer. This book was released on 1972 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meningeal leukemia (ML) is a well-known and rather frequent complication of leukemia especially since the advent of chemotherapy. The first report of neurological complications of leukemia was in 1823 by Burnsl. Before leukemia chemotherapy, there had been only sporadic and relatively few case reports. However, since 1948, the incidence of meningeal leukemia has increased to where it is now one of the most frequent complications of the disease. This review will discuss in depth the pathology, clinical characteristics, and results of treatment of meningeal leukemia. An attempt will be made to assess the relative values of different modes of therapy and suggest new ones in light of animal studies and theoretical models for meningeal leukemia, and to define what parameters are necessary in evaluating the results of therapy, which would be helpful in future studies. This is especially cogent since many of the more recent chemotherapy proto cols are utilizing combinations of radiotherapy and intrathecal therapy both in treatment of meningeal leu kemia and as prophylaxis against its development.

Download or read book Central Nervous System Leukemia written by Renato Mastrangelo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 10 to IS years there has been dramatic improvement in the survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At the present time, over 50% of children with this disease will be alive and free of their disease at least 5 years from the time of their initial diagnosis. Although a number of factors have contributed to this improvement, perhaps none has been as important as the institution of central nervous system preventive therapy (eNS prophylaxis). However, despite the efficacy of eNS prophylaxis, the prevention and treatment of central nervous system leukemia continues to pose a formidable clinical challenge to the pediatric oncologist. Although successful in most cases, eNS preventive therapy remains ineffective for a small but significant subset of patients at high risk for developing eNS disease. Moreover, it has become increasingly evident that some methods of eNS preventive therapy are associated with long-term, adverse eNS sequelae. Thus, considerable controversy exists regarding the optimal method of eNS prophylaxis. Treatment of the patient who develops overt meningeal leukemia has not been as successful and continues to pose a major clinical challenge. Despite the ability of intrathecal chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to induce eNS remission, most patients suffer subsequent relapse and ultimate survival is usually signifi cantly compromised. It is evident that newer approaches to treatment for this patient group must be identified before major improvement for this patient group is likely to occur.

Download or read book Cancer Neurology in Clinical Practice written by David Schiff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuro-oncology has evolved substantially as a clinical and research discipline over the past few decades. Cancer Neurology in Clinical Practice: Neurologic Complications of Cancer and its Treatment, Second Edition provides clinicians from various backgrounds and levels of training with a reference to help focus the differential diagnosis, treatment strategy, and management plan for the cancer patient with neurologic symptoms and findings. The volume begins with an overview of the field of neuro-oncology and a review of the role of neuroimaging in the diagnosis of neuro-oncologic disease. Several chapters on interpretation and management of common neuro-oncologic symptoms follow. Subsequent sections contain chapters on the direct and indirect neurologic complications of cancer as well as complications of therapy. The final section focuses on the spectrum and management of neurologic disease in patients with cancer of specific organs. Cancer Neurology in Clinical Practice: Neurologic Complications of Cancer and its Treatment, Second Edition is an important new work that aims to broaden and deepen the familiarity of clinicians with the range and management of neuro-oncologic diseases in order to improve the quality of care for cancer patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all aspects of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from basic biology to supportive care. It offers new insights into the genetic pre-disposition to the condition and discusses how response to early therapy and its basic biology are utilized to develop new prognostic stratification systems and target therapy. Readers will learn about current treatment and outcomes, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy approaches. Supportive care and management of the condition in resource poor countries are also discussed in detail. This is an indispensable guide for research and laboratory scientists, pediatric hematologists as well as specialist nurses involved in the care of childhood leukemia.
