[Management of pediatric leukemia]

Abstract

Acute leukemias are the most common pediatric cancer. With a cure rate of about 80%, their treatment is based on a combination of cytotoxic chemotherapies whose intensity is adapted to prognostic factors. Sometimes, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is indicated. New therapeutic options are being developed, such as CAR T-cells.
