A comprehensive clinical study has been provided in this book regarding the disease of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This book presents different aspects of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It discusses facets of molecular epidemiology and molecular features that control the origin and diagnosis of the disease. The diagnostic approaches are explained in detail, emphasizing the utilization of molecular biology in identifying the complications at initial stage in the patients. The authors have shared their research experiences, conclusions and prospective ideas. An offhand paradigm is added in the...

An elucidative account regarding the diagnosis, prevention and management of T-cell leukemia has been presented in this book. T-cell leukemia is a comparatively rare malignancy of thymocytes. Nearly 20 variants and entities of this disease are known to exist. Each one of them has distinct characteristics, like diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis, epidemiology and therapeutic approaches. Although it is a relatively rare malignancy, various types of T-cell leukemia still result in a poor prognosis due to their quick progression. Hence, growth in new preventive and therapeutic strategies is...

The shining example of medical growth and curing ability is the case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Nearly forty years back, ALL was deemed fatal; it is today regarded as highly curable. Despite the minor inconsistency in results between children and adults, continuous efforts are in place to improve the shortcomings in the treatment of adults diagnosed with ALL. The success story of ALL treatment can be accredited to better understanding of the disease, availability of medicinal drugs and countless trials to overcome the disease. A disease as complex as ALL has several facets,...

This book discusses the research advances in leukemia with the help of advanced research-focused information. Leukemias are a class of heterogeneous neoplastic disorders varying essentially in terms of morphological, immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular features of malignant cells. These features indicate a difference in the spectrum of basic biological alterations involved in malignant transformation, and/or variations in the level of hematopoietic stem cells hierarchy where the transforming events occur. For continuous and extensive inflow of latest information regarding the...

This book primarily focuses on the extensive topic of T-Cell Leukemia. The aim of this book is to present the readers with a descriptive overview of the scientific developments in T-cell malignancies and to shed light on the most important findings that will help the readers comprehend the basic mechanisms of T-cell leukemia as well as the future directions that are likely to lead to new therapies. For the assurance of an efficient approach to these problems, translational researchers, basic scientists and veteran clinicians from this field have contributed information in this book....
