Preclinical efficacy of gemcitabine in MLL-rearranged infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia

The treatment of children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has improved significantly over recent decades, with 5-year event-free survival (EFS) approaching 85% [1]. However, 5-year EFS for infants diagnosed at less than 1 year of age with MLL-rearranged ALL remains less than 40...

description The treatment of children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has improved significantly over recent decades, with 5-year event-free survival (EFS) approaching 85% [1]. However, 5-year EFS for infants diagnosed at less than 1 year of age with MLL-rearranged ALL remains less than 40% [2]. MLL-rearranged infant ALL is both clinically and biologically distinct from other childhood ALL subtypes, which is reflected by a unique gene expression profile [3], a remarkably silent mutational landscape [4], and pronounced resistance to currently applied chemotherapeutics [5].
