Question

Poor prognosis of a subtype of this disease and its potential precursors are linked to a deletion in chromosome 7’s long arm that manifests as a monosomy. Like its MPN and MDS precursors, a subtype of this disease may present with cytoplasmic granules and needle-like Auer rods. A chemotherapeutic 7+3 (“seven plus three”) regimen can treat a subtype of this disease, another subtype of which is treated by orally administering 6MP and methotrexate as part of its maintenance therapy. Imatinib treats a form of this disease by inhibiting a (*) BCR-ABL fusion protein originating from the Philadelphia chromosome. Subtypes of this disease can be described as acute or chronic and myeloid or lymphocytic. An abnormally high white blood cell count characterizes the chronic form of this disease. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this most common pediatric cancer that, like (10[1])myelomas (10[1])and lymphomas, (10[1])may require a bone marrow transplant. (10[1]) ■END■

ANSWER: leukemia [accept acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphocytic leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia; prompt on ALL or AML or CLL or CML; prompt on hematological cancers or blood cancer or bone marrow cancer; reject “lymphoma”]
