Prognostic significance of a normal karyotype in adult patients with BCR-ABL1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
OBJECTIVE: The occurrence of cryptic Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome translocation is rare in BCR-ABL1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCR-ABL1+ ALL) and is of unknown significance in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era. METHODS: We retrospectively studied a series of adult patients receiving TK...

Does BCR-ABL transcript type influence the prognosis of patients in chronic myelogenous leukemia chronic phase?

ABSTRACT Introduction and objective: In this study, we evaluated the influence of the transcript type on hematological and clinical parameters, as well as the event-free survival of 50 patients in the Chronic myeloid leukemia chronic phase. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 55 patients with C...

Acute myeloid leukemia with e1a2 BCR-ABL1 fusion gene: two cases with peculiar molecular and clinical presentations

Molecular response to imatinib mesylate of Brazilian patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

Abstract Background Imatinib mesylate has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia leading to significant reductions of BCR-ABL1 transcript levels in peripheral blood. Objective To evaluate the response to imatinib mesylate treatment (400 mg/day) in Brazilian patients in the chronic pha...

Recomendaciones metodológicas para el monitoreo molecular BCR-ABL1 en pacientes con leucemia mieloide crónica por pcr cuantitativa en tiempo real
Guidelines for molecular monitoring of BCR-ABL1 in chronic myeloid leukemia patients by RT-qPCR

Medicina (B.Aires); 77 (1), 2017
Actualmente las guías clínicas para el manejo de pacientes con leucemia mieloide crónica incluyen el monitoreo molecular de BCR-ABL1 por PCR cuantitativa en tiempo real; esta metodología permite definir la respuesta molecular. A pesar de la probada importancia pronóstica de la respuesta molecular, e...

Fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) for BCR/ABL in chronic myeloid leukemia after bone marrow transplantation

Säo Paulo med. j; 119 (1), 2001
CONTEXT: Identification of Philadelphia chromosome or BCR/ABL gene rearrangement in chronic myeloid leukemia is important at diagnosis as well as after treatment. OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of karyotyping using fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) upon diagnosis and 1 year after bone marrow tr...

The detection and significance of minimal residual disease in chronic myeloid leukemia

Medicina (B.Aires); 60 Suppl 2 (), 2000
The focus of the study of minimal residual disease (MRD) is to redefine the concept of remission by using more sensitive molecular techniques to detect level of disease burden below that of conventional pathology. The detection of the chimeric bcr-abl mRNA transcript in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is ...
