Abstract
One of the most serious possible consequences of cancer therapy is the development of a second cancer, especially leukemia. Several distinct subsets of therapy-related leukemia can be distinguished currently. These include classic therapy-related myeloid leukemia, leukemia that follows treatment with agents that inhibit topoisomerase II, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and leukemias with 21q22 rearrangements or inv(16) or t(15;17). These types of leukemia are discussed in detail in this article.Entities:
