The median age of acute myeloid leukaemia at diagnosis is over 60 years.
However, such an approach would be possible in a limited number of tumour types, such as leukaemia, where repeated sampling of the tumour was feasible.
A replication-defective retroviral vector based on the murine leukaemia virus is genetically modified to encode the human c sequence.
Risk factors in the remaining three patients were : chronic myelogenous leukaemia, immunosuppression for renal transplant, and hyperglycaemia induced by corticosteroid used for temporal arteritis.
Every parent grieves for the death of their children from leukaemia.
An example of this is the occurrence of acute myeloid leukaemia in patients with myelodysplasia.
Median survival for early-stage chronic lymphatic leukaemia and indolent follicular lymphomas is in the order of 10 years.
An example might be a cluster of leukaemia cases near a nuclear power plant.
