## BACKGROUND. Cranial radiation therapy (CRT) has been suggested to be a principal factor responsible for long term neurocognitive deficits in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, neither reduction of the irradiation dose nor the elimination of irradiation entirely appear to h

## BACKGROUND. Although it is widely accepted that failure to achieve complete remission (CR) portends a poor prognosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), there is variability in the precise definition of induction failure and, to the authors' knowledge, few published data exist regar
In children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), abnormalities in mineral homeostasis and bone mass were first reported by our group in the late 1980s. Prospective longitudinal cohort studies in 40 consecutive patients receiving treatment according to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) prot
Background. The treatment of acute leukemia in childhood has been increasingly successful. Concurrently, severe leukemia-related gastrointestinal complications have become more common. Methods. We evaluated the findings of the abdominal ultrasound (US) examinations of 52 children with acute lymphob
We have investigated the association between the polymorphisms of drug-metabolizing enzymes and susceptibility to head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC). PCRbased analysis was performed on 145 Japanese patients and 164 healthy Japanese controls to determine genotypes of polymorphisms in CYP1A
