Table of Figures Acute Leukemia - Undifferentiated leukemia - bone marrow Acute Leukemia - Myeloblastic leukemia - bone marrow Acute Leukemia - Other leukemias - bone marrow Figures 13, 14 ... Acute erythroleukemia Acute leukemia is a disease of the leukocytes and their precursors. It is characterized by the appearance of immature, abnormal cells in the bone marrow and peripheral blood and frequently in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and other parenchymatous organs. The clinical picture is marked by the effects of anemia, which is usually severe (fatigue, malaise), an absence of functioning granulocytes (proneness to infection and inflammation), and thrombocytopenia (hemorrhagic diathesis). The spleen and liver usually are moderately enlarged, while enlarged lymph nodes are seen mainly in the pediatric lymphoblastic leukemias. Fever and a very high ESR complete the picture. Leukocyte counts vary greatly in the acute leukemias. About one-fourth to one-third of cases begin with a low white blood count ( sub- or aleukemic leukemia), while about half show some degree of leukocytosis. Mature granulocytes may still be found in the peripheral blood in addition to abnormal forms. The coexistence of immature and mature cell forms is termed "hiatus leucaemicus." The leukocytopenic forms are the most difficult to differentiate from aplastic anemias, pancytopenias, and the myelodysplastic syndromes. Bone marrow aspiration is usually necessary to establish a diagnosis. Aspirated marrow is found to be permeated by abnormal cells (

29. Gleevec Interview With Dr. DeVita -- Discovery Health -- Gleevec, Leukemia Discover Health interview with Yale Cancer Center's Dr. Vince DeVita. http://health.discovery.com/expert/yale/viewsnews/gleevec.html

Gleevec: New Hope for Leukemia Patients An Interview with Dr. Vincent DeVita , Director of the Yale Cancer Center. FDA Press Release Discovery Health recently spoke with Dr. Vince DeVita, director of Yale Cancer Center and former director of the National Cancer Institute, about Gleevec and its clinical success. How does Gleevec work and what is its target? Gleevec works against a disease called chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML, which is diagnosed about 8,000 times a year. Many of the newer cancer drugs target the signaling systems that cells use to talk with each other. In the case with Gleevec, the target is an abnormality on a chromosome called the "Philadelphia Chromosome" which was originally discovered 30 years ago. This abnormality produces an improperly fused gene that constantly tells the cell to divide. As a result, these cells divide at an abnormally fast rate leading to cancer. And because the cells are dividing so fast, they tend to make more mistakes in their DNA. Eventually, patients progress from a chronic to acute phase after 48 months or so, whereby their spleens are filled with these cells causing a great deal of pain. Ultimately the patients die from infections and hemorrhage. Gleevec is designed to work against the abnormality associated with CML and acts as a "magic bullet," meaning it doesn't affect any other genes except the one found in CML. Does this mean that Gleevec isn't effective against other types of cancer?

30. Feline Leukemia Information Describes the various diseases caused by the feline leukemia virus and the four possible outcomes once a cat is infected with FeLV. http://www.animalclinic.com/FELVEASY.htm

FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS DISEASES Feline leukemia virus infection was, until recently, the most common fatal disease of cats. Because we can now protect cats with a leukemia virus vaccine, we are seeing fewer cases of the disease. However, it still remains a major cause of death in cats. "Leukemia" means cancer of the white blood cells. This was the first disease associated with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and, thus, the source of its name. We often use the term "leukemia" rather loosely to include all of the diseases associated with the virus, even though most are not cancers of the blood. This virus causes many other fatal diseases, in addition to leukemia. What diseases are caused by the FeLV? There are three major disease categories associated with the FeLV: 1. The Leukemias are cancers of the white blood cells. 2. Lymphosarcoma is a cancer which begins in lymphoid tissue, such as a lymph node. Almost any tissue may be affected; organs commonly involved include lymph nodes, intestinal tract, kidneys, liver, spinal cord, brain, bone marrow and blood. 3. The Non-Cancerous Diseases include a variety of somewhat unrelated diseases. Anemia, abortion, arthritis, and immune suppression are examples. When the immune system is suppressed, the cat becomes susceptible to many diseases it would ordinarily resist and mild diseases, such as respiratory infections, may become fatal.

Home Site Map Owner Resources Practitioner's Page ... How You Can Help Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) FeLV, a retrovirus, is the most important infectious disease agent producing fatal illness in domestic cats today. How is FeLV spread from cat to cat? The feline leukemia virus is excreted in saliva and tears and possibly the urine and feces of infected cats. Prolonged, extensive cat-to-cat contact is required for efficient spread, because the virus is rapidly inactivated by warmth and drying. How long can a cat survive with FeLV disease? A cat with FeLV disease may live for several weeks to several months, depending on how advanced the disease is at the time of diagnosis. However, it is impossible to tell how long any particular cat will survive. Can a cat become immune to FeLV? A significant percentage of adult cats that are exposed to the virus develop immunity and do not become persistently viremic (i.e., will not carry the virus indefinitely in the blood and bone marrow). Usually those cats live out a normal life span. However, in some the virus may remain sequestered for a variable period of time somewhere in the body. It is thus conceivable that FeLV might break out and cause disease at a later date, after the cats have been stressed, or perhaps medicated with drugs that suppress the immune system. Can my children or I become infected with FeLV if our cat is infected? What about our dog?
