This disproportionately significant difference might be due to delays in diagnosis, treatment initiation, lack of adequate supportive care, and treatment abandonment. We aimed to determine the impact of overall treatment delay on induction mortality of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated at Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital (TASH).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients (age <21) diagnosed with a primary CNS tumor at four upstate New York hospitals from 2008 to 2021.
Article Synopsis
- A 13-year-old patient with T-LGL leukemia did not respond to standard treatments and eventually received a bone marrow transplant (BMT).
- Three years after the BMT, the patient is stable and in remission, suggesting that BMT could be an effective cure for resistant cases in very young individuals.
