Abstract
Within the last 10 years the prognosis of childhood AML has been improved by more intensive combination chemotherapy and better supportive care, but not in the same degree as in childhood ALL [1]. The German AML studies, BFM-78 and -83, demonstrate increasing rates of long-lasting remissions. The large number of patients have allowed us to define prognostic factors in childhood AML.
