T and B subtypes of prolymphocytic leukemias (PLLs) are rare, highly aggressive lymphoid malignancies with characteristic morphologic, immunophenotypical, cytogenetic, and molecular features. Recent studies have highlighted ...

Summary The t(14;19)(q32;q13), involving the BCL3 locus at chromosome 19q13 and the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene at 14q32, is a rare recurrent cytogenetic abnormality identified in B-cell neoplasms, most of which have ...

BACKGROUND. To the authors’ knowledge, there is no standard treatment for patients with T-cell large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia. Available data are limited by patient numbers and coexisting pathologies. METHODS. ...

B-prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. To further characterize the biological features of this disease, we analyzed immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgVH) mutations, ZAP-70 and CD38 in 19 cases ...

We report a high incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in patients entered into the Medical Research Council Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia-5 trial. Of 115 newly diagnosed patients treated ...

The humanized monoclonal antibody alemtuzumab binds to the CD52 antigen, a glycoprotein which is widely expressed on normal and malignant B and T lymphocytes. Recently it has been demonstrated in a number of clinical trials ...

The study of changes in proliferation as a marker of treatment benefit during presurgical endocrine treatment of breast cancer has become increasingly popular, particularly using the nuclear marker Ki67, and holds the ...
