Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

TLDR
Genome-wide profiling of germline and leukaemic cell DNA has identified novel submicroscopic structural genetic changes and sequence mutations that contribute to leukaemogenesis, define new disease subtypes, affect responsiveness to treatment, and might provide novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for personalised medicine.

Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2016.

TL;DR: The number of cancer survivors continues to increase because of both advances in early detection and treatment and the aging and growth of the population and for the public health community to better serve these survivors, the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute collaborate to estimate the number of current and future cancer survivors.

Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2019

TL;DR: Estimating cancer prevalence in the United States using incidence and survival data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registries; vital statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics; and population projections from the US Census Bureau is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer treatment and survivorship statistics, 2014

TL;DR: The number of cancer survivors continues to increase due to the aging and growth of the population and improvements in early detection and treatment, and current treatment patterns for the most common cancer types are described based on information in the National Cancer Data Base and the SEER and SEER‐Medicare linked databases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the Cancer Stem Cell Model

TL;DR: It is proposed that the genetic and CSC models of cancer can be harmonized by considering the role of genetic diversity and nongenetic influences in contributing to tumor heterogeneity.

Cancer statistics, 2012

TL;DR: The reduction in overall cancer death rates since 1990 in men and 1991 in women translates to the avoidance of about 1,024,400 deaths from cancer, which can be accelerated by applying existing cancer control knowledge across all segments of the population, with an emphasis on those groups in the lowest socioeconomic bracket.

Letter: A new consistent chromosomal abnormality in chronic myelogenous leukaemia identified by quinacrine fluorescence and Giemsa staining.

TL;DR: An unsuspected abnormality in all cells from the nine patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia has been detected with quinacrine fluorescence and various Giemsa staining techniques, suggesting that there may be a hitherto undetected translocation between the long arm of 22 and thelong arm of 9, producing the 9q+ chromosome.

AML1, the Target of Multiple Chromosomal Translocations in Human Leukemia, Is Essential for Normal Fetal Liver Hematopoiesis

TL;DR: The results suggest that AML1-regulated target genes are essential for definitive hematopoiesis of all lineages, and that this defect was intrinsic to the stem cells in that AMl1-/-ES cells failed to contribute to hematocerosis in chimeric animals.
