Molecular response to imatinib mesylate of Brazilian patients with chronic myel...
Vieira-Mion,Ana Lucia; Pereira,Noemi Farah; Funke,Vaneuza Araujo Moreira; Pasquini,RicardoAbstract Background Imatinib mesylate has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia leading to significant reductions of BCR-ABL1 transcript levels in peripheral blood. Objective To evaluate the response to imatinib mesylate treatment (400 mg/day) in Brazilian patients in the chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia monitored by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction. Methods Between O...

Oral cancer after prolonged immunosuppression for multiorgan chronic graft-vers...
Araujo,Renata Lins Fuentes de; Lyko,Karine de Fatima; Funke,Vaneuza Araujo Moreira; Torres-Pereira,Cassius CarvalhoLong-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are recognized as a risk group for malignization. Malignant oral neoplasms are increasingly being reported in the literature as a consequence of lesions of chronic graft-versus-host disease, and prolonged multidrug treatment to control its manifestations. This report describes a 43-year-old patient who, after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, ...

Campos,Denise Johnsson; Biagini,Gleyne Lopes Kujew; Funke,Vaneuza Araujo Moreira; Bonfim,Carmem Maria Sales; Boguszewski,César LuizBackground: Sub-optimal levels of vitamin D have been found to be highly prevalent in all age groups, with epidemiologic studies demonstrating a link between vitamin D deficiency and disease susceptibility, such as infection and cancer, and mortality rates. In adult transplant patients, it has been suggested that the immunomodulatory properties of vitamin D may have an important role in the prevention and treat...
