Survival outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in India: a resource-limited perspective of more than 40 years
J Pediatr Hematol Oncol.
2011 Aug.
Abstract
The outcome of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in India has been inferior to more than 80% cure rates in developed nations. This study was done to analyze the outcome of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in India over 4 decades. There has been a gradual improvement in survival rates of up to >70% in some centers along with a decline in relapse and mortality. However, these results cannot be generalized to the entire nation. There is a crying need to address treatment abandonment, take quality improvement, educational and financial initiatives; cooperative research into risk factors and disease biology, and the implementation of risk stratification along with the assessment of response to therapy.
