Abstract:
Study on 107 cases from Jan 1999 to Aug 1999, their results are found as follows: - All in adults: 25 cases (23.36%). Male - female ratio: 1.08 - all in children (treated to Fralle 93): 70 cases (65.43%). Male- female ratio: 1.7. All in the number of WBC > 50 x 109/l: 2 cases (1.87%). AML type M4: 1 case (0.93%). -AML type M5: 2 cases (1.87%). CML transformed to ALL: 1 case (0.93%). Lymphoma: 4 cases (3.74%), 100% male.- Patient with meningeal syndrome: 2 cases (1.78%). From the above results, we have some conclusions as follows: * The types of high meningeal recurrence are: -Early meningeal recurrence: 85.71% - Simple meningeal recurrence: 85.71% - Patients incompletely cured to standard protocol: 64.29%. *The incidence of the central nervous damage caused by ALL in children (20%) is higher than adults (12%). * As to ALL in children, the incidence of meningeal recurrence increases depending on risk group: group C>group B> group A. *Children completely cured to the standard protocol (Fralle93) has a substantially decreased menigeal recurrence (29%, decreased for group B, and 34% decreased for group C).
