82. Childhood Cancer: Leukemia The term leukemia refers to cancers of the white blood cells (also called leukocytes or WBCs). ANLL is also called acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/cancer/cancer_leukemia.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems The term leukemia refers to cancers of the white blood cells (also called leukocytes or WBCs ). When a child has leukemia, large numbers of abnormal white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. These abnormal white cells crowd the bone marrow and flood the bloodstream, but they cannot perform their proper role of protecting the body against disease because they are defective. As leukemia progresses, the cancer interferes with the body's production of other types of blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets. This results in anemia (low numbers of red cells) and bleeding problems, in addition to the increased risk of infection caused by white cell abnormalities. Initially, abnormal leukemia cells appear only in the bone marrow and blood , but later they may spread elsewhere, including the lymph nodes, spleen , liver, brain , and testes. Types of Childhood Leukemia In general, leukemias are classified into acute (rapidly developing) and chronic (slowly developing) forms. In children, about 98% of leukemias are acute. Childhood leukemias are also divided into acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), depending on whether they involve specific white cells called

Time.com People Fortune EW Possible link between Agent Orange, leukemia WASHINGTON (CNN) Research released Thursday suggests a possible association between a child's chance of getting a type of leukemia and a parent's exposure to Agent Orange, a defoliant used during the Vietnam War that already has been linked to several health problems among veterans and their offspring. But a congressionally mandated report from the Institute of Medicine stopped short of establishing a direct cause and effect between Agent Orange and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), instead calling the evidence "limited or suggestive." Irva Hertz-Picciotto, professor of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and chair of the committee that conducted the study, said researchers saw a 70 percent higher risk of AML for children whose parents served in Vietnam or Cambodia.

More Information General Information Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disorder of morphologically mature but immunologically less mature lymphocytes and is manifested by progressive accumulation of these cells in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues. In this disorder, lymphocyte counts in the blood are usually equal to or higher than 5,000 per cubic millimeter with a characteristic immunophenotype (CD5 and CD23 positive B cells). [ ] As assays have become more sensitive for detecting monoclonal B-CLL-like cells in peripheral blood, researchers have detected a monoclonal lymphocytosis of undetermined significance (MLUS, in analogy to the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, MGUS) in 3% of individuals over 40 years of age and 6% in those over 60 years of age. [ ] Such earlier diagnosis and recognition of cases that would never have crossed the threshold of diagnosis previously may falsely suggest improved survival for the group and may unnecessarily worry or result in therapy for some patients who would have remained undiagnosed in their lifetime, a circumstance known in the literature as overdiagnosis or pseudodisease. At the present time, the natural history or clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

Treatment statement for Health professionals Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Get this document via a secure connection General Information Cellular Classification Stage Information ... More Information General Information Sixty percent to 80% of adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be expected to attain complete remission status following appropriate induction therapy. Approximately 35% to 40% of adults with ALL can be expected to survive 2 years with aggressive induction combination chemotherapy and effective supportive care during induction therapy (appropriate early treatment of infection, hyperuricemia, and bleeding). A few studies that use intensive multiagent approaches suggest that a 50% 3-year survival is achievable in selected patients, but these results must be verified by other investigators. [ As in childhood ALL, adult patients with ALL are at risk of developing central nervous system (CNS) involvement during the course of their disease. This is particularly true for patients with L3 histology. [ ] Both treatment and prognosis are influenced by this complication. The examination of bone marrow aspirates and/or biopsy specimens should be done by an experienced oncologist, hematologist, hematopathologist, or general pathologist who is capable of interpreting conventional and specially stained specimens. Diagnostic confusion with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), hairy-cell leukemia, and malignant lymphoma is not uncommon. Proper diagnosis is crucial because of the difference in prognosis and treatment of ALL and AML. Immunophenotypic analysis is essential because leukemias that do not express myeloperoxidase include M0 and M7 AML as well as ALL.

If you have reference material or names of individuals who can help Children with Leukemia, please send the information or names to the Jennifer Lynn Stroud Foundation, 14160 Dallas Parkway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75254. HISTORY Jennifer Stroud was a typical five year old girl with a mommy, daddy and brother living in Dallas, Texas. She loved to play dolls, loved her favorite cuddly Molly, giggled, laughed, played and skipped with her friends. Around Thanksgiving 1993, we noticed she was tiring and started to run a low grade fever. We also noticed she was starting to bruise easily when she bumped into things. Lynn took her to the pediatrician who ran a blood test and told her on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1993, that she needed to go to a hospital because she may have leukemia. Later that day, we were told by the doctors she had leukemia, and later that evening that it was acute myeloid leukemia, and she started emergency treatment called leukapheresis, which cycled her blood through a filter to decrease the amount of white blood cells. Her condition was classified as critical.

Welcome to "Joe's Marathon Challenge". My name is Joe Scott, I am a Marathoner and a Cancer Survivor.The Marathon is a 26.2 mile endurance event that originated in Ancient Greece in 490BC. It has been part of every Olympics ever since. This makes it one of the oldest and most enduring sporting events. Less than 1% of the population has done a Marathon, and very few of those are cancer survivors. I do these events to celebrate life & survival, and to raise funds to help others fight cancer. I am going for the Disney World Marathon again! Training for the 2003-2004 marathon season has begun! Upcoming events include the Walt Disney World Marathon 2004, and the Miami Tropical Marathon 2004. You can navigate through the site by clicking on the shoes. The purpose of this site is as follows: Offer hope to those suffering with cancer. Keep my sponsors up to date. Attract potential new sponsors. Encourage others to join Team in Training (TNT). Share my experiences with the world.
