Subscribe now >> Leukemia Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow, the body tissue that produces blood cells. The bone marrow is a jelly-like substance that fills the inside of the bones. The bone marrow makes three kinds of cells: Red blood cells (erythrocytes): They give the blood its red color. These cells pick up oxygen and carry it to the tissues. They are also known as RBCs. Platelets (thrombocytes): They help stop bleeding if there is injury. White blood cells (leukocytes): They fight infections. They are also known as WBCs. Leukemia develops in these blood cells. In leukemia, certain white blood cells escape the normal control mechanisms that direct their maturing. Instead of aging so they are able to assume certain functions, they remain young and continue to multiply. This can happen to any of three main kinds of white blood cells: Neutrophils, which eat bacteria

How these new therapies can be most effectively studied in the clinic and whether they will ultimately improve cure rates are questions of enormous importance.

FALLON, Nevada (AP) For three years, scientists prodded the dust, dirt and water in this rural community and tested the blood of dozens of its residents all in hopes of uncovering why children were developing leukemia. Yet despite the work, scientists revealed Monday that they haven't been able to determine what caused the disease that has sickened 16 children and killed three since 1997. "We were hoping we'd get more information here," said Dr. Malcolm Smith of the National Cancer Institute. "The studies didn't do that but they certainly told us a great deal about what does not exist as health threats to the community." The scientists' final report, presented at a meeting attended by more than 100 people, was a disappointment for families of children afflicted by the cancer. But researchers said the massive amount of data they compiled should help in future efforts to determine the source of the disease.

John Joseph Moakley, 74, a good-humored Capitol Hill fixture for the last 29 years, died Monday of complications from leukemia. "It is my sad duty to notify you that our dear friend Joe Moakley passed away today, Memorial Day, at 3:30 p.m.," said Rep. James McGovern, D-Massachusetts, a former Moakley staffer, Monday at Bethesda Naval Hospital. "At his bedside were members of his family and his brothers Bob and Tom, staff and friends. "We all loved Joe very, very much," McGovern said. "We all admired the courage and even the humor he displayed over these last few weeks." Moakley, known to his friends and adversaries as "Joe," was a Massachusetts Democrat who represented the congressional district encompassing the rough-and-tumble South Boston section of Boston. He surprised many of his fellow House members earlier this year by announcing he was ill with leukemia, and planned to retire at the end of his term in 2002. Moakley was admitted to Bethesda Naval Hospital last week and his condition was said to have deteriorated rapidly. Family members and friends, including several lawmakers, held a long vigil at his bedside over the weekend.

Curing cancer one step at a time through charitable donations... I hope this introduction finds you well and happy. I've created this site, www.life-celebrations.org , to ask for your support in helping me meet an important personal challenge. This year, I turn 50 (yes, that's a REALLY BIG number) and wanted to do something memorable to mark the occasion. Some people get tattoos, some get motorcycles, some jump out of airplanes...I decided to do something a little more altruistic by making a commitment to walk a 26.2 mile marathon ! This marathon is just one of more than 35 marathons across the country that sanction organizations to participate. The group I'm training with is the Team in Training , and the organization we support is the . Team in Training (TNT) is the #1 training program in the country today. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has made significant progress in the treatment of leukemia and is committed to finding a cure in our lifetime. The Society has been rated by "Money Magazine" as one of the top ten charities for having the highest percentage of funds raised to directly benefit research and family services. My personal goal is to raise over $5000 through this marathon.

Unlike traditional, toxic chemotherapy remedies, which kill both cancerous and healthy cells, the drug STI-571 specifically targets an enzyme found only in leukemia cells, meaning patients suffer minimal side effects. Some experts think the new approach could work for other cancers as well. "This is a real home run," said principal researcher Dr. Charles Sawyers of the Jonsson Cancer Center at the University of California in Los Angeles. "Six or eight months ago, I would never have believed this."

Generally, children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are considered to be in remission when doctors cannot see any cancerous cells in their bone marrow when looking through a microscope. However, a genetic-fingerprinting technique called PCR, for polymerase chain reaction, can spot as few as five cancer cells in every 100,000 cells. Using this test, doctors examined 178 children who appeared to be in remission after undergoing chemotherapy, and detected traces of cancer in 42 percent of them. During three years of follow-up, 8 percent of those who appeared cancer-free on the PCR test suffered a relapse, compared with 40 percent of those who showed traces of disease.
