  1. 1. Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Late effects in young adult survivors

    Författare :Marianne Jarfelt; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
    Nyckelord :childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; adult survivor; GH secretion; body composition; bone mineral density; exercise echocardiography;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. The 5-year survival rate has gradually increased from 5% in early 1970s to over 80% today. Until now most patients have been discharged from further follow up after puberty. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) has a unique place in the history of oncology, as it was the first cancer to be cured by drugs. It is therefore an important model upon which concepts of chemotherapy in other malignancies have been developed. Methotrexate is a major component of most contemporary childhood ALL treatment protocols. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Late complications of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), with special reference to hormone secretion, cardiovascular risk and bone health

    Författare :Cecilia Follin; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :growth hormone treatment; growth hormone deficiency; cranial radiotherapy; Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; cardiovascular risk factors; bone mineral density; prolactininsufficiency;

    Sammanfattning : An increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cardiac abnormalities has been shown among adult GH deficient ALL survivors subjected to cranial irradiation. The ALL treatment includes many known risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), but little is known about pituitary insufficiencies, except for GH deficiency. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Genetic changes in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and other lymphoid malignancies

    Författare :Teresa Calero Moreno; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant transformation of normal cells is the result of defects in cell growth control, differentiation and programmed cell death. It has been convincingly shown that malignant cells carry mutations in the genes controlling these cellular processes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pharmacogenetic studies in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia with primary focus on methotrexate

    Författare :Jannie Gregers; Curt Peterson; Birgitte Lausen; Kim Dalhoff; Martin Stanulla; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common type of cancer in children. Improvement in treatment has increased survival to approximately 85 per cent. LÄS MER
