Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine the utility of XCL1 in the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Each year approximately 256,000 children and adults around the world develop a form of leukemia, and 209,000 died from it. Recently, some studies have evaluated the relationship between the concentration of some cytokines and prognosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. XCL1 is a lymphotactin that belongs to a cytokine subfamily called C or γ with only one cysteine in the N-terminal residue. It has been found with significant expression of receptor mRNA XCL1 (XCR1) in T and B lymphocytes and related to hematological neoplasms. For these reasons, XCL1 could be a efficient marker of prognosis in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
