Abstract

ACUTE myeloid leukemia (AML) in children and adolescents has traditionally been one of the hardest childhood cancers to successfully treat. Overall survival in the 1960s was well under 10%. With the use of intensive induction and post-remission chemotherapy, judicious use of bone marrow transplantation and improved supportive care, the outcome for children and adolescents has improved steadily and now 50-60% of affected patients diagnosed in developed countries are cured [1-5].
