This is a very difficult question to answer. There are several types of pediatric leukemias. The best place to look is in the website of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (www.nccn.org) which publishes guidelines for the treatment of multiple cancers and is updated at least annually. More than 30 major cancer centers in the USA participate in writing these guidelines.
