In a new study, scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have found a connection between blood cancer and leukemia – a result that may level a further notch on the science’s plate.
The cause and pathophysiology of leukemia are both very different.
His research group has already seen preliminary results in this regard and is very excited with the results.
“We see that our results may be helpful to the blood cancer researchers, scientists treating patients and to medical doctors,” says lead author of the study, Ingo Malmö, researcher at the Dr.
The research group’s first priority was to identify factors related to cancers that are present in blood disorders but are not present in any other cancer types after major surgery such as heart attack, kidney cancer or brain cancer.
“Our study shows that we can characterize the molecular imprint, potential influences, and possible mechanisms underlying leukemia in this important type of leukemia often managed with the ‘traditional’ blood test technique,” he explains.
