Results of treatment of lymphoblastic lymphoma at the children cancer hospital Egypt – A single center experience

Conclusion Results of treatment of LBL on the St Jude’s total therapy XV study are comparable to most of the similar reported studies. Outcome of relapsing patients is extremely poor, hence there is a need to identify biologic or clinical prognostic factors including minimal residual tumor to better evaluate chemotherapy response. Steroid induced AVN, and cerebral vascular thrombosis were the main chemotherapeutic adverse events.
