    Treatment of acute leukaemia, one of the most common malignancies in children,has to be based on the relative risk of relapse. The purpose of this retrospective study of 154 patients with acute ... leukaemia treated in the Unit for oncology and haematology was to evaluate the outcome of treatment during the period from 1990 - 1999. For further analysis, only 109 patients with ALL,who had started chemotherapy 6 years earlier were included, as it is knownthat relapses after this period are rare. Overall, the 6-year survival for this group was 74%, while EFS was 75%. The two-year EFS in AML patients was 50.7%, while the overall survival was 33%. Treatment results could be compared with published results from BFM group, whose treatment protocols wereused for our patients. Children with AML still have lower survival rates, mostly due to relapses and treatment-related complications.
