Reduced Folate Carrier and Dihydrofolate Reductase Expression in Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia May Predict Outcome: A Children's Cancer Group Study
27 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Methotrexate is a major component of current treatment regimens for children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Potential mechanisms of methotrexate resistance include impaired drug uptake, decreased drug retention, and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) amplification. The purpose of this study was to assess whether reduced folate carrier (RFC) and DHFR expression in untreated leukemic blasts correlated...
