Abstract
- A report from University Hospital Salamanca in Spain discusses the findings of research on childhood B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), the most common pediatric cancer. The research suggests that there may be an association between B-ALL development and disrupted immune system function during childhood, possibly triggered by early exposure to infection. While cure rates for B-ALL are high, survivors often experience diminished quality of life due to treatment side effects. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding the origins and evolution of B-ALL in order to develop preventive strategies. [Extracted from the article]
