AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We present two patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (FAB AML-M7 and AML-M2) complicated by hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and relevant literature review. To our knowledge, our first case is the first and youngest patient having AML-M7 associated with HLH reported in the literature. Our cases and cases in the literature highlight the high mortality rate of leukemia associated with HLH and the need for further investigation for the most appropriate therapy.

Purpose: The clinical prognostic value of monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients undergoing nonintensive treatment remains insufficiently established. The aim of this work was to examine MRD status at various time points, highlighting the potential for pre-emptive therapy to improve patient outcomes.
Methods: Inpatient data from 2017 to 2024 were used in this retrospective study.

gene polymorphisms (677C>T and 1298A>C) correlate with various types of cancer across all age groups; however, a small number of studies have included solely children and adolescents. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to present and synthesize all the available evidence on the association between gene polymorphisms and the incidence of all types of cancer in children and adolescences. After a systematic search of all of the available data, original case-control studies involving children or adolescents with a confirmed diagnosis of any type of cancer and a molecular genetic test of gene polymorphisms were included.

Background: Hypomethylating agents (HMA), such as azacytidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC), are epigenetic therapies used to treat some patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome. HMAs act in a replication-dependent manner to remove DNA methylation from the genome. However, AML cells targeted by HMA therapy are often quiescent within the bone marrow, where oxygen levels are low.

The present study was aimed at revealing the metabolic changes that occurred in the cellular lipid pattern of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemia cells following treatment with cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a non-psychoactive compound present in Cannabis sativa L., which has shown an antiproliferative action in these type of cancer cells.
