The present invention is directed to methods for establishing a composite marker profile for a sample derived from an individual suspected having a neoplastic condition. A composite marker profile of the invention allows for identification of prognostically and therapeutically relevant subgroups of neoplastic conditions and prediction of the clinical course of an individual. The methods of the invention provide tools useful in choosing a therapy for an individual afflicted with a neoplastic condition, including methods for assigning a risk group, methods of predicting an increased risk of relapse, methods of predicting an increased risk of developing secondary complications, methods of choosing a therapy for an individual, methods of determining the efficacy of a therapy in an individual, and methods of determining the prognosis for an individual. In particular, the method of the present invention discloses a method for establishing a composite marker profile that can serve as a prognostic indicator to predict whether the course of a neoplastic condition in a individual will be aggressive or indolent, thereby aiding the clinician in managing the patient and evaluating the modality of treatment to be used. In particular embodiments disclosed herein, the methods of the invention are directed to establishing a composite marker profile for a leukemia selected from the group consisting of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).

The present invention relates to the diagnosis of mixed lineage leukemia (MLL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) according to the gene expression profile of a sample from an individual, as well as to methods of therapy and screening that utilize the genes identified herein as targets.

The invention relates to materials and methods for evaluating the prognosis of a patient presenting with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CLL) and for CLL therapy.

The invention relates to a preparation method of an imatinib intermediate, which solves the problems of complex preparation technique, multiple impurities and influence on imatinib purity in the existing imatinib intermediate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by using 3-acetylpyridine and N,N-dimethylformamidodimethylacetal as the initial raw materials, carrying out condensation reaction, thiocarbamide cyclization reaction and iodomethane substitution reaction, and oxidizing with oxydol to obtain the imatinib intermediate. The inventiom mainly aims to synthesize the medicine for treating chronic myelogenous leukemia, imatinib methanesulfonate. The invention has the advantages of simple technique, cheap and accessible raw materials, high yield and short reaction time, and is suitable for industrial production.
