A computerized database is described that contains information about 507 mutations in the p53 gene of hematologic tumors and corresponding cell lines. Analysis of these mutations indicated the following findings: First, mutational spectrum analysis in these tumors was found to be similar to the patt

The Wilms' tumor gene WT1, whose loss of function accounts for the genesis of about 10% of Wilms' tumors, is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia. By analogy with the relationship between the kidney stem cell and Wilms' tumor, it is probable that WT1 is mutated in leukemia. WT1 mutatio
Recent studies have generated data demonstrating significant clinical activity of a-interferon therapy in each of six hematological malignancies, chronic myeloid leukaemia, essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia rubra vera, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, multiple myelomatosis and hairy cell leukaemia.
Most hematopoietic malignancies are widely disseminated even in their "early" stages and often do not have a well-defined localized phase. This makes them less amenable to conventional early screening methods such as imaging and observation. Furthermore, the staging systems for lymphomas are not par
