Elevated serum ferritin levels in patients with hematologic malignancies.
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev
January 2017
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the variations and importance of serum ferritin levels in Chinese patients with blood cancers, specifically hematologic malignancies.* -
- A total of 473 patients were included, with notable diagnoses being acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and results showed higher serum ferritin levels in newly diagnosed and recurrent cases compared to those in remission.* -
- The findings suggest that monitoring serum ferritin levels can be useful for evaluating the health status and prognosis of patients with hematologic malignancies.*

This study was aimed to detect the methylation status of FHIT gene promoter region in the DNA from plasma of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and to investigate the demethylating effect of decitabine. Methylation-specific PCR method was used to detect the methylation status of FHIT gene promoter region in the DNA from plasma of 4 patients with MDS before and after treatment with decitabine plus semis CAG therapy (among them, 1 case of newly diagnosed MDS, 3 cases progressed into acute leukemia). The results indicated that 3 cases were found to have an increased methylation in the promoter region.
