Abstract

The goal of treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) in children is cure. Treatment results in AML have considerably improved during the last decade [5]. Remission induction therapy has become increasingly successful, and approximately 70 to 80% of children achieved complete remission (CR). However, despite consolidation, intensification and maintenance therapy, relapses have become, at least for a certain group of children, the limiting factor in the efforts to increase the event-free-survival rate.KeywordsAcute Myeloid LeukemiaTotal Body IrradiationAcute GVHDAutologous Bone Marrow TransplantationAcute Myeloblastic LeukemiaThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
