Malignant Tumors of Childhood

The lymphoma group and particularly acute leukemia have responded to a more marked degree than any other form of cancer in early life to the new chemicals that have been developed within the last few years. Prolongation of life, amelioration of symptoms, and a return to a far happier and even a normal life for weeks and many months have been produced by their use. THESE AGENTS HAVE PRODUCED NO CURES. Their use, however, has opened a new era in the treatment of cancer, and has pointed the direction for future research. This direction is all the more important because of the lack of knowledge concerning the cause or means of prevention of acute leukemia and other members of the lymphoma group of tumors in infancy and childhood.
