Abstract

In 1977, the members of the Pediatric Oncology Group (POG, formerly the Pediatric Division of the Southwest Oncology Group) initiated a series of protocols designed for the investigation and therapy of childhood acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). In general, studies of childhood ANLL prior to the early 1970s were concerned primarily with induction response rates. Those studies usually employed single agents or drug combinations which had proven effective for the more frequently occurring acute lymphocytic leukemia of childhood.

This investigation was supported in part by grants from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health: CA-03161, CA-03713, CA-29691, CA-29139, CA-20549, CA-28476, CA-28476, CA-28439, and CA-30969
