Some cytogenetic subtypes have a worse prognosis than others. These include: [21] Person with t(9,22) positive-ALL (30% of adult ALL cases) and other Bcr-abl-rearranged leukemias are more likely to have a poor prognosis, but survival rates may rise with treatment consisting of chemotherapy and Bcr-abl tyrosine kinase inhibitors. [49]
Because of early spread and inherent resistance to anticancer drugs, patients have poor prognosis. Elements of choriocarcinoma in a mixed testicular tumor have no prognostic importance. [2] [3] Choriocarcinomas can also occur in the ovaries [4] [5] and other organs. [6]
The prognosis depends on the type of cells affected, the number of blasts in the bone marrow or blood, and the changes present in the chromosomes of the affected cells. [3] The average survival time following diagnosis is 2.5 years. [4] MDS was first recognized in the early 1900s; [5] it came to be called myelodysplastic syndrome in 1976. [5]
Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out daily activities; the potential for complications and ...
[9] [10] Acute erythroid leukemia (M6) has a relatively poor prognosis. A 2010 study of 124 patients found a median overall survival of 8 months. [ 10 ] A 2009 study on 91 patients found a median overall survival for erythroleukemia patients of 36 weeks, with no statistically significant difference to other AML patients.
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) was founded in 1947 to promote and maintain high-quality standards for family medicine, an offshoot of the classical general practitioner. It is headquartered in Leawood, Kansas .
Metastatic porcarcinomas often have a poor prognosis Porocarcinoma (PCA) (also termed malignant poroma, eccrine porocarcinoma, and malignant eccrine poroma) [ 1 ] is a rare form of skin cancer that develops in eccrine sweat glands , i.e. the body's widely distributed major type of sweat glands, as opposed to the apocrine sweat glands which are ...
Cryptococcal meningitis accounts for about 68% of meningitis cases in those with HIV and has a mortality rate of 10-25%, with delays in diagnosis and treatment being especially common and associated with a poor prognosis. [5] The treatment for chronic infectious meningitis is directed at the underlying infectious agent.
