Bailliere'S Clinical Haematology
|December 1, 1987
Summary
Despite extensive data on chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), many biological and molecular aspects remain unexplained. Further research is crucial for understanding CML and its potential as a cancer model.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Molecular Biology
Background:
- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a significant human cancer with extensive research.
- Numerous molecular and biological data exist for CML compared to other cancers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the known biological and molecular abnormalities in CML.
- To highlight the limitations of current data in explaining CML's key features.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of biological and molecular abnormalities in CML.
- Analysis of existing data on CML pathogenesis.
Main Results:
- Significant knowledge exists regarding CML's molecular underpinnings.
- Current data inadequately explain critical aspects of CML.
Conclusions:
- CML research has generated substantial data.
- More investigation is needed to fully understand CML and its role as a cancer model.

02:12What is Cancer?
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...

02:21Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...
02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
