Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a serious hematological neoplasis that is characterized by the development of immature and abnormal growth of lymphoblasts. However, microscopic examination of bone marrow is the only way to achieve leukemia detection. Hence, an effective leukemia detection approach is designed using the proposed Taylor-Monarch Butterfly Optimization based Support Vector Machine (Taylor-MBO based SVM). However, the proposed Taylor-MBO is designed by the integration of Taylor series and Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO), respectively. The sparking process is designed to perform automatic segmentation of blood smear image by estimating optimal threshold values. By extracting the features, such as texture features, statistical and grid-based features from the segmented smear image, the performance of classification is increased with less training time However, the proposed Taylor-MBO based SVM obtained better performance using the metrics, such as accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity with the values of 94.5751%, 95.526%, and 94.570%, respectively.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a serious hematological neoplasis that is characterized by the development of immature and abnormal growth of lymphoblasts. However, microscopic examination of bone marrow is the only way to achieve leukemia detection. Various methods are developed for automatic leukemia detection, but these methods are costly and time-consuming. Hence, an effective leukemia detection approach is designed using the proposed Taylor–monarch butterfly optimization-based support vector machine (Taylor–MBO-based SVM). However, the proposed Taylor–MBO is designed by integrating the Taylor series and MBO, respectively. The sparking process is designed to perform the automatic segmentation of blood smear images by estimating optimal threshold values. By extracting the features, such as texture features, statistical, and grid-based features from the segmented smear image, the performance of classification is increased with less training time. The kernel function of SVM is enabled to perform the leukemia classification such that the proposed Taylor–MBO algorithm accomplishes the training process of SVM. However, the proposed Taylor–MBO-based SVM obtained better performance using the metrics, such as accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, with 94.5751, 95.526, and 94.570%, respectively.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a cancer of blood caused due to increase in number of immature lymphocyte cells. Detection is done manually by skilled pathologists which is time consuming and depends on the skills of the pathologist. The authors propose a methodology for discrimination of a normal lymphocyte cell from a malignant one by processing the blood sample image. Automatic detection process will reduce the diagnosis time and not be limited by human interpretation. The lymphocyte images are classified based on two types of extracted features: shape and texture. To identify prominent shape features, Correlation based Feature Selection is applied. Principal Component Analysis is applied on the texture features to reduce their dimensionality. Support Vector Machine is used for classification. It is observed that 16 shape features are able to give a classification accuracy of 92.3% and that changes in the geometrical properties of the nucleus emerge as significant features contributing towards detecting a malignant lymphocyte.

Introduction: Leukemias are neoplastic proliferations of haematopoietic stem cells and form a major proportion of haematopoietic neoplasms that are diagnosed worldwide. Typing of leukemia is essential for effective therapy because prognosis and survival rate are different for each type and sub-type Aims: this study was carried out to determine the frequency of acute and chronic leukemias and to evaluate their clinicopathological features. Methods: It was a hospital based cross sectional study of 60 patients carried out in the department of Pathology, JMCH, Assam over a period of one year between February 2018 and January 2019. Diagnosis was based on peripheral blood count, peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination (as on when available marrow sample) for morphology along with cytochemical study whenever possible. Results: In the present study, commonest leukemia was Acute myeloid leukemia (AML, 50%) followed by Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL 26.6%), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML, 16.7%) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, 6.7%). Out of total 60 cases, 36 were male and 24 were female with Male:Female ratio of 1.5:1. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the most common type of leukemia in the children and adolescents. Acute Myeloid leukemia was more prevalent in adults. Peripheral blood smear and bone Conclusion: marrow aspiration study still remains the important tool along with cytochemistry, immunophenotyping and cytogenetic study in the diagnosis and management of leukemia.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) presenting as Fanconi syndrome (FS) is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of ALL presenting as bilateral nephromegaly following FS. A 2-year-old girl was unexpectedly diagnosed with bilateral nephromegaly. After 2 weeks, she developed general fatigue, thirst, and polyuria. Laboratory examinations revealed renal tubular acidosis, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and aminoaciduria, and FS was diagnosed. Replacement of bicarbonate and potassium did not improve her condition. Two weeks after the onset of FS, leukemic cells appeared on a peripheral blood smear, and the patient was diagnosed with precursor B-cell ALL presenting as nephromegaly and FS. Chemotherapy brought about a prompt resolution of acidosis and electrolyte abnormalities, without renal dysfunction. The patient remains well 4 years after the onset of the disease. Although extremely rare, FS should be recognized as one of the emerging renal complications of ALL.

The formation of malignant neoplasm can be seen as deterioration of a pre-malignant skin neoplasm in its functionality and structure. Distinguishing melanocytic skin neoplasms is a challenging task due to their high visual similarity with different types of lesions and the intra-structural variants of melanocytic neoplasms. Besides, there is a high visual likeliness level between different lesion types with inhomogeneous features and fuzzy boundaries. The abnormal growth of melanocytic neoplasms takes various forms from uniform typical pigment network to irregular atypical shape, which can be described by border irregularity of melanocyte lesion image. This work proposes analytical reasoning for the human-observable phenomenon as a high-level feature to determine the neoplasm growth phase using a novel pixel-based feature space. The pixel-based feature space, which is comprised of high-level features and other color and texture features, are fed into the classifier to classify different melanocyte neoplasm phases. The proposed system was evaluated on the PH2 dermoscopic images benchmark dataset. It achieved an average accuracy of 95.1% using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Furthermore, it reached an average Disc similarity coefficient (DSC) of 95.1%, an area under the curve (AUC) of 96.9%, and a sensitivity of 99%. The results of the proposed system outperform the results of other state-of-the-art multiclass techniques.
