  • Title: Allogeneic BMT vs. chemotherapy in late bone marrow relapsed childhood non-T/non-B ALL: results of BFM ALL relapse studies. BFM Relapse Study Group.

    Abstract:
    In first BM relapsed non-T/non-B ALL, the outcome is not significantly different after radio-chemotherapy compared with allogeneic BMT. Therefore, radio-chemotherapy is convenient af first late BM relapse and BMT may be performed not before a second BM relapse had occurred. Only a small subgroup of children with isolated BM relapse and peripheral blast cells > or = 10,000/microliter at diagnosis of first relapse has a dismal prognosis after radio-chemotherapy and might benefit from BMT.
