Abstract:
There have been advances for the treatment of childhood cancers since the recent several decades, which caused increased incidence of secondary malignancy in the populations of the long term survivors from the primary cancers. The authors report a case of acute myeloid leukemia as a secondary malignancy in a 19-year-old female after successful chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, with a brief review of related literatures.
