Scientists hunt for hidden signs in blood cancers to personalize treatment

NCT ID NCT02320656

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study collected blood, bone marrow, skin, and cheek cell samples from 650 adults with acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or myeloproliferative disorders. Researchers analyzed the samples to find genetic, epigenetic, and drug sensitivity patterns that might predict how the disease will progress or respond to treatment. The goal is to better understand these cancers and improve personalized care in the future.
