Myeloid Leukemias: A Glance at Middle Eastern Centers

Conclusively, this study showed a young age of ML patients, with female predominance in CML, and poor outcome, which reflected racial, ethnic and risk factor differences in incidence of MLs.

Myeloid Leukemia: A Molecular Focus on Etiology and Risk Within Africa

The duality of the cancer problem in Africa, for being largely a disease of modern life style, occurring against a background of socio-economic disparities and greater burden of communicable diseases, emphasizes the study of peculiar features of gene-environment interaction that may be largely private to Africa.

High Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients and Its Adverse Outcome

The results of the study showed that serum 25(OH)D levels deficiency was highly prevalent among Iranian AML patients, and higher Vit D levels in AMl patients were associated with better outcome in these patients.

Vitamin D level was low in a majority of pediatric patients with acute leukemia, and it was further reduced after induction-remission in patients without vitamin D replacement.

Molecular profiling of adult acute myeloid and lymphoid leukemia in a major referral center in Lebanon: a 10-year experience report and review of the literature

A lower mean age was found in the adult leukemic Lebanese population as compared to the Western cases and interesting findings were the lower percentage of inv(16), lower incidence of TCF3-PBX1, and the mild increase in Philadelphia positivity in the AML cohort.

Study the effect of Vitamin D3 in newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia

Findings suggest that lower serum concentrations of vitamin D3 may possibly be considered as a potential factor for early assessment of acute myeloid leukemia.

Low 25(OH) vitamin D3 levels are associated with adverse outcome in newly diagnosed, intensively treated adult acute myeloid leukemia

Several studies have suggested that low 25(OH) vitamin D3 levels may be prognostic in some malignancies, but no studies have evaluated their impact on treatment outcome in patients with acute myeloid…

Ethnic differences in the lymphoid malignancies of children in the United Arab Emirates. A clue to aetiology?

Children of subcontinental origin had significantly more acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and less lymphoma than the other two ethnic groups, probably due to the higher level of education and smaller family size in group 3 and lends support to the proposed infectious aetiology in ALL.
