LEUKEMIA
2008-05-01 09:39:00 Cancer involving the blood and bone marrow is most often seen in children. Several types of leukemia are described, based upon the type of blood cells involved and their appearance under the microscope. Samples from the blood and bone marrow are usually compared. Ionizing radiation, whether from nuclear sources or x-ray therapy, is clearly associated with an increased incidence of these leukemias. Chemical agents, such as the anticancer drugs and occupational exposure to benzal have been associated with increased leukemia. Some hereditary factors havealso been linked with this disease.Most interesting is the firmly established viral theory in relation to acute leukemia. In rodents, fowls, cats, and monkeys certain viruses are known to cause leukemia when experimentally inoculated. These animals can pass viruses to their offspring through the ovum or shed it in their milk or other secretions, thereby transmitting it to unaffected animals. Again it makes one wonder how much leukemia m...

Revlimid May Help Against Chronic Leukemia
2007-12-14 09:12:00 Summary: The drug Revlimid (lenalidomide) may be effective for some people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has not responded to other treatments or comes back after treatment, according to a small Phase 2 study. If the results hold true in larger clinical trials, Revlimid may prove to be another option for patients who otherwise have few treatments left to try.Why it's important: CLL is considered an incurable form of cancer. Although many people live for many years with this disease, it does eventually come back after treatment. There are not many treatments that work in this situation, especially if people have already been treated with the chemotherapy drug fludarabine. Patients need more effective ways to tackle CLL after their initial treatments.What's already known: Revlimid was approved in 2005 to treat a type of bone marrow disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome. It has also shown promise against multiple myeloma, another type of bone marrow cancer. In lab s...

Jason Blake, leukemia not enough of story for some
2007-10-11 07:40:00 Let's get one thing straight-Damian Goddard of Sportsnet didn't just cross a line Monday. He buried his boot into that unwritten divide with callous insensitivity, no matter how unintentional, and made me wonder just why in hell I got in this sports business in the first place.As David Shoalts from the Globe and Mail brought to our attention, Goddard, normally a straight-shooting reporter, collared Jason Blake Monday afternoon, moments after the Leaf announced he was battling leukemia, and asked if the cancer put his perceived "mini-slump" in perspective.Now, for the record, Goddard needs nothing from me, least of all my respect. A good thing, too, because he lost it this week.For those who missed it, Blake had gone scoreless in the three games before Monday's presser which, on this day, was as irrelevant as what he had for breakfast three weeks ago. No one really gave a damn.If Blake needed to put anything in perspective, he probably found that moment when he went home...

And that is, there is an herbal supplement called "pau d'arco" among some its names. The best quality of this supplement is from the inner bark of a tropical tree that grows in South America.

Leukemias and Lymphomas
2007-05-31 16:36:00 Leukemias and lymphomas are cancers which affect the cells which are part of the fluids circulating around the body. Leukemias affect certain blood cells, particularly the white cells, or "leukocytes" which help fight off infections and disease. And lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system, a network of vessels which form part of the body's immune system, and carry other infection-fighting cells called "lymphocytes", as well as draining dead cells away from the tissues. There are several different types of leukemia, classed mainly according to the way the cancer develops, and the variety of white blood cells they affect. There are two principal kinds of lymphoma - Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's - the latter is more common, and also slightly harder to treat. Professor Peter Johnson, an expert in lymphomas from the University of Southampton, who carries out work for Cancer Research UK is hopeful that new chemotherapy and radiotherapy techniques will help improve surviv...
Gleevec Therapy Method For Leukemia
2007-05-17 07:55:00 By Groshan Fabiola The therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia with Gleevec (Imatinib mesylate) began to be used in patients in 2001 and seemed to be real success. Since that time, a clinical study revealed the efficiency of Gleevec in other cancer types as well such as in hypereosinophilic syndrome, another blood cancer. Gleevec is a targeted drug on abnormal cells of the body and doesn’t attack healthy cells like other chemotherapeutics. Gleevec is efficient against a protein called BCR-ABL from the class of enzymes known as thyrosine kinases which is responsible for the excessive multiplication of mature and immature white blood cells in the chronic myeloid Leukemia. Most cancer forms are caused by genetic mistakes leading to the production of malfunctioning proteins that send a wrong message to the cells. When the abnormal enzymes are inhibited by chemotherapy, the cancer progression is also stopped. Scientists work to find other similar drugs like Gleevec that have the capacit...
