Abstract
Recently the treatment programs for childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have become more effective, not only in achieving a higher percentage of induction responses but also in the improvement of duration of the first remission [7, 9, 12], Because AML in children is rare — about 80 new cases per year are expected in West Germany and West Berlin – it is necessary to cooperate in multicenter trials to gain experience and to establish the value of new therapies.
