Abstract
The past 25 years have seen a dramatic improvement in results of treatment of children with HBL; formerly, < 25% were cured, and today, 65 to 75% may be cured. New, active agents are still needed, and the late effects of therapy, especially on the heart and kidneys, remain a concern. Nevertheless, it is clear that treatment of HBL is indeed "a bit of a success story" (42).Keywords
