Article Synopsis
- - Childhood acute leukemias and lymphomas have high survival rates, but can lead to second neoplasms (SN), with 1% of patients developing SN over nearly 30 years of study.
- - Among the 34 patients with SN, the most common types included acute leukemias and various solid tumors, with a significantly longer latency period for solid tumors compared to hematological malignancies.
- - Treatment of SN, considering previous therapy doses, resulted in a 67.6% complete remission rate, indicating that patients can have survival rates similar to those diagnosed with new cancers.
