Abstract

The technique of bone marrow cultures has been shown to be of value in childhood acute leukemia. It now appears that acute myelogenous leukemia may be due to defective maturation of normal progenitor cells. The pattern of growth of these cells has been demonstrated to be of prognostic value. In contrast, the growth of normal progenitor cells from the bone marrow cultures of children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) may be due to the few remaining normal cells. The cause of granulocytopenia in childhood ALL is still unclear.

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.
