✦ Synopsis
at the end ot treatmenł. We have noted also 38 patients (15%) ot 254 patients, with deacresing hemoglobin level during treatment higher than 1 gid!.
Results: No impact on outcome ot treatment was observed in the group ot patients with low level ot Hgb betore irradiation. Inrease ot locoregional failure ot postoperative radiotherapy was noted in group of patients with Hgb level at the end of irradiation below 13 g/dl (p = 0,004) and also in group ot patients with decreasing of Hgb level during treatment (p = 0,038).
Conclusions: Low Hgb levels at the end of postoperative irradiation and decreasing during irradiation were associated with a statistically signiticant an increase in locoregional failure ot patients with advanced carcinoma of larynx.

We treated 73 patients with hematologic malignancies in first complete remission (acute lymphoblastic leukemia = 23 patients; acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia = 25 patients; chronic myelogenous leukemia in first chronic phase = 20 patients, and high grade lymphoma = five patients) with a uniform pre
## Abstract Twenty children with acute leukemia between 3 and 19 years of age underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from HLA‐matched sibling donors after conditioning with total‐body irradiation (1,200 cGy in six fractions of 200 cGy twice daily for 3 days) and high dose cytosine arabino
## Abstract ## Background The prognosis of Philadelphia chromosome‐positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph^+^ ALL) is generally poor and reports from large studies are scarce. We evaluated the efficacy of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo‐BMT) for children with this type of leukemia.
