   Nyckelord :Chromosome aberrations; SKY; interphase-FISH; Childhood ALL;

   Sammanfattning : Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in childhood, accounting for approximately 25% of all paediatric malignancies. Based on clinical risk criteria and modem laboratory investigations including immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics, patients can be divided into prognostic groups and assigned to risk- adjusted treatment protocols.

   Sammanfattning : Background: The aetiology in childhood cancer is essentially unknown. Epidemiological investigations as to whether the incidence rates have changed for paediatric cancers or whether clustering of cases occur may give clues to possible causal factors. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Survival after childhood cancer has improved dramatically during the past four decades, resulting in a five-year survival rate of 80% in children recently treated for cancer in the Nordic countries. However, these advances in treatment and survival has come at a price, and many survivors face significant treatment-induced sequelae, most of which only become clinically apparent many years after the child has been cured.

   Sammanfattning : Systematic assessments of cognition, fatigue, and mental health in survivors ofchildhood cancer can serve two different purposes. One is to enable research about development over time and medical predictors of cognitive deficits. The other is to identify individual patients in need of rehabilitation or interventions. LÄS MER
