Abstract

The success of treatment of acute leukemia in children is determined by the biological type of the disdorder, the volume of the tumor mass, extramedullary manifestations and toxic complications resulting from chemotherapy. Analysis of risk factors, clinical data and neuroimaging may help to clarify the cause of the pathology of the central nervous system and to select the optimal method of treatment.
