Bone marrow cells from 62 children with acute leukemia were cultured by the double-layer agar technique. In this system, granulocytic progenitor cells will form colonies (colony forming units or CFU) of mature granulocytes in t h e overlayer when stimulated by factors (colony stimulating activity or

Routine morphologic and cytochemical study of the leukemic cells of a 13-month-old child did not permit definitive determination of either a lymphoid or a myeloid cell origin. However, ultrastructural cytochemical analysis revealed platelet peroxidase (PPO) reactivity. The malignant cells expressed
Twenty-three leukemic children were studied prospectively to detect chronic effects of therapy. All patients received CNS prophylaxis, including 2400 R cranial irradiation, and intermittent maintenance therapy with intravenous methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and cytosine arabinoside.

## Abstract Data of the Shanghai Tumor Registry were examined for incidence rates of leukemia among children, ages 0โ14 years. Between 1972 and 1978, leukemia developed in 344 children; 175 (52%) had acute lymphocytic leukemia. The incidence rates were 4.5 per 100,000 boys and 3.3 per 100,000 girls
