Abstract
- Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in children is rare, and it is generally considered to be more resistant to chemotherapy than acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, because of the gradual intensification of chemotherapy and better supportive care, outcomes have improved considerably over the past 20 years. The management of children with AML in the Slovak Republic was unified and centralized during the second half of the 1990s with the introduction of Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (BFM) protocols. In 2000, the AML-BFM-1998 protocol was introduced, and data collection became centralized.
