  • Title: The effect of scheduling in children undergoing prophylactic cranial irradiation for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
    Author: Costello SA, Jones RD, Barrett A.
    Journal: Radiother Oncol; 1991 Sep; 22(1):56-9. PubMed ID: 1947213.
    Abstract:
    Control of central nervous system (CNS) disease and overall survival have been analysed in a group of 829 children with leukaemia entered into the UKALL VIII trial to determine whether scheduling of the cranial irradiation is of prognostic significance. We show that short gaps in treatment do not influence prognosis and that current radiotherapy practice need not be modified.
