Flow Cytometry to Estimate Leukemia Stem Cells in Primary Acute Myeloid Leukemia and in Patient-derived-xenografts, at Diagnosis and Follow Up
Published on: March 26, 2018
Abstract:
Macro- and microscopic examinations of the viscera and hemopoietic organs of 405 dead patients who had suffered from various forms of acute leukemia were performed as well as microscopic investigations of 560 punch biopsies obtained from 372 patients at different stages of the disease. Pathomorphological findings on acute leukemias are presented, changes in the disease in the course of cytostatic antileukemia treatment are observed. Morphological signs of therapeutic pathomorphosis of acute leukemia involve: reduction or eradication of leukemic growths in the viscera and hemopoietic organs; hemopoietic hypo- and aplasia; dystrophic and necrobiotic alterations in the organs; topographic changes of leukemic proliferates (extramedullary localization of the process); augmentation of infectious and inflammatory complications; other causes of death.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
