Myeloid leukaemia in Scotland

Lancet
I W KempM A Heasman

Abstract

An examination of Scottish cancer registration data over two five-year periods (1968-72, and 1973-77) shows a rise of about 1 1/2 times in incidence of acute myeloid leukaemia between the two periods. This finding is similar to that reported earlier in Lancashire. The increase has occurred at all ages, in all social classes, and in all parts of the country. Reasons why this increase is partially real are given.

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.
