Abstract

There is paucity of data in pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) from developing countries. We analyzed the outcomes of 65 consecutive patients with pediatric AML treated at our centre from January-2008 to May-2013. The median event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 12.6 and 14.6 months respectively. Patients with good-risk cytogenetics had a better EFS (p = 0.004) and OS (p = 0.01). Overall, these results are not comparable to that observed in other centres globally and leaves scope for further improvement. This includes implementing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for all children with high-risk AML.
