Objective: To determine the influence of iron metabolism on the prognosis of acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and (AML)myeloblastic leukemia at the different phases of chemotherapy in children after Chоrnobyl accident.
Materials And Methods: 333 children (295 - ALL, 38 - AML) were examined at the stages of chemotherapy. Thecomparison group included 93 children without leukemia.
Objective: Determine of the influence of adverse environmental factors, including irradiation, on the survival ofchildren with acute leukemia in the long-term period after the Chornobyl accident (2008-2017).
Materials And Methods: Examined 74 children with acute leukemia (АL): 64 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL); 10 - acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). The influence of negative environmental factors was assessed bythe degree of integrated pollution of the atmospheric air, surface waters and soils with pesticides, heavy metals (Pb,Cu, Ni, Cr, Mn, Zn, Fe) and cesium isotope 137Cs.
Objective: Determination of serum cortisol level in the initial period of acute leukemia in children, who exposed to ion izing radiation and other factors of Chornobyl accident, depending on their age and prognosis of disease.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 283 children residents of Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Chernihiv regions. There were 90 acute leukemia patients(AL) (ALL - 56, AML - 34), and 193 people of comparison group with anemia, leukemoid reactions and lymphadenopathy.

Objective: Identification of impact of radiation and non radiation environmental factors on development of hematopoi etic abnormalities in children and justification of criteria for the increased risk groups of hematologic diseases.
Materials And Methods: The results of clinical and hematological survey of 1465 children living in Kyiv, Zhytomyr and Chernihiv regions for the period from 2008 to 2014 were presented. There were 777 children with anemia, 466 with changes in hemogram, 191 with acute leukemia.
Age and sexual indexies of densitometry at patients with acute leukemia (AL) and healthy children are presented. 31% of children with AL during the initial period of disease had manifestations of the osteopenic syndrome. At patients with AL more often than at healthy children anomalies of development of front part of skull are defined.
