Achieving lower morbidity and higher survival rates in the treatment of childhood leukemia has been a paradigm of success in modern oncology. However, serious long-term health complications occur in very large populations of childhood leukemia survivors, in the case of both acute lymphoid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Additionally, 15% of acute lymphoid leukemia patients have treatment failures, and rates are even higher in childhood AML. In the last few decades, as a result of well-tested experiments that statistically analyzed treatment cohorts, new agents have emerged as alternatives or supplements to established treatments, in which high survival and/or less morbidity were observed. This review provides an overview of better practice in the treatment of childhood leukemia.
在儿童白血病治疗中实现更低的发病率和更高的生存率,已成为现代肿瘤学成功的典范。然而,在大量儿童白血病幸存者中,无论是急性淋巴细胞白血病还是急性髓系白血病(AML),都会出现严重的长期健康并发症。此外,15%的急性淋巴细胞白血病患者治疗失败,儿童AML的治疗失败率更高。在过去几十年里,经过充分测试并对治疗队列进行统计分析的实验,催生了新的药物,作为既定治疗方法的替代或补充,这些新药物显示出高生存率和/或更低的发病率。本综述概述了儿童白血病治疗的更佳实践。
