Abstract

Malignant diseases are one of the most common causes of mortality in children in Europe and America. In the past ten years, considerable advancement has been achieved in both the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, malignant lymphoma in particular. With the introduction of new therapeutic modalities (new combinations of cytostatics, radiotherapy, surgery, monoclonal antibodies, and bone marrow transplantation), a high rate of long-term remission and recovery is now possible to achieve.
