Long term survivors following treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia during 1970-75.
1988
TWENTY-THREE patients were treated for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia during 1970–1975 in the National Children’s Hospital, Dublin. Twelve patients (52%) were alive and in first remission five years after diagnosis. One patient relapsed nine years after diagnosis; the remainder, 48%, are alive and in first remission between 12 and 17 years after diagnosis. Our experience is similar to the results reported from the more successful larger centres in other countries.
