BACKGROUND. L-asparaginase in combination with methotrexate has synergistic antileukemic activity in a schedule-dependent fashion. A new preparation of L-asparaginase, polyethylene-glycol conjugated (PEG)-asparaginase, is a pharmacologically different formulation of L-asparaginase with distinct prop
The t(1;19)(q23;p13), detected cytogenetically in 5-6% of cases, is one of the most common translocations in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Most t(1;19)ฯฉ ALLs are pseudodiploid or contain fewer than 50 chromosomes, are classified as pre-B based on expression of cytoplasmic, but not su
