Abstract

In the summer of 1997, the first meeting on 'Acute Leukemias with Structurally Altered Core Binding Factor Subunits' was held. During the meeting, which attracted more than 140 participants, many recognized experts in the field of CBF and leukemia were present. In this short report we summarize new data on CBF involvement in leukemia and other diseases that were presented during the meeting.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
