Charles M. Rubin, MD, is an Assistant Professor in Department of Pediatrics and Medicine at the University of Chicago in Chicago, IIlinois. Pediatric malignancies including leukemia and solid tumors are associated with specific nonrandom chromosomal abnormalities. Cytogenetic analysis of suspected malignant tissues for chromosomal abnormalities at the time of presentation has become routine and is extremely useful for diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore, chromosomal abnormalities have provided an important focus for researchers trying to determine the cause of childhood cancer. General characteristics of chromosomal abnormalities in malignant disease are: (1) they are present in the malignant cells of an otherwise chromosomally-normal individual; (2) they involve the majority or all of the malignant cells; (3) they are clonal in origin, that is, they appear to arise in a single cell which subsequently proliferates; (4) specific abnormalities are associated with particular tumor subtypes ; and (5) they may be numerical (losses or gains of whole chromosomes) or structural (translocations, deletions, inversions). The so-called Philadelphia chromosome was the first specific chromosomal abnormality to be found in human malignancy. It was later determined to have been the result of a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 [t(9;22)]. The t(9;22) is observed in nearly all cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia.. In acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, specific rearrangements correlate with FAB subtype as follows: M2(myeloid), t(8;21); M3(promyelocytic), t(15;17); M4(myelomonocytic), inv(16); M5(monoblastic), t(9;11). In addition, therapy-related acute nonlymphocytic leukemia is associated with loss of or partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 or 7.

Providing nursing care to bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients is complex due to the nature of treatment regimens and related side effects, patient isolation in a protective environment and lengthy hospitalization (usually two to three months). Patients require specific education before, during and after BMT, as well as intense, individualized physical, psychological and developmental nursing support. This article describes a BMT orientation program for nurses working in a seven bed germ-free laminar air flow BMT unit (pediatric and adult) in a comprehensive cancer center. BMT orientation supplements knowledge gained in the general hospital orientation. The BMT nurse educator coordinates the program in collaboration with the nurse clinicians and the nurse manager. Classes are held during time allocated for clinical experience and usually take place during the first three weeks of employment. Instructors include the nurse educator, nurse clinicians, nurse manager and senior staff nurses. Each BMT orientation class lasts thirty to sixty minutes, depending on the number of orientees and their previous nursing experience. Self-directed learning time is provided for orientees to review designated articles in preparation for class attendance and discussion. A variety of teaching strategies are used, including lecture, audiovisual programs, case studies and skill demonstration.
