[Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of leukoses in childhood]

30 TO 40% of all malignant neoformations in childhood are leukaemias. Within this group 80 to 85% of acute lymphatic leukaemias are found. The indicating signs (conditioned by the suppression of the normal myelopoiesis) are briefly described, differential diagnosies are only mentioned. Primary diagnostics and diagnostics of the course, the principles of remission induction and continuous therapy in leucaemia are sketchily described. Treatment of acute lymphatic leukaemia is performed adequate to the therapeutic scheme after Pinkel Prophylaxis of the central nervous system must be demanded. Modern therapeutic methods with the help of synchronisation and oncobiogramme are demonstrated. The possibilities of the symptomatic therapy in disease-conditioned and therapy-conditioned complications and side-effects occupy a somewhat broader space. Finally the principles of the organisation of the treatment of leukaemia in childhood are described.
