Abstract

In this issue of our journal, our colleagues Juliane Morando, Sergio Costa Fortier, Ricardo Pasquini, Jose Zanis Neto and Carmem Maria Sales Bonfim from the Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit of the Hospital de Clinicas, Universidade Federal do Parana describe an interesting retrospective study of 137 under 21-year-old acute leukemia patients accumulated over 23 years(1995 to 2008)(1).
