| Description | Journal: Pediatric hematology and oncology To evaluate the significance of the peripheral lymphocyte count in the prognostication of childhood cancer, 173 children with cancer (neuroblastoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, malignant lymphogranuloma, nephroblastoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma) were studied. All patients with the above-mentioned diagnoses admitted for the first time between 1985 and 1987 without prior treatment and acute infection were eligible for the study. Elevated peripheral lymphocyte count seems to be an independent indicator of survival from neuroblastoma but not from other tumors. I thank Prof. J. Koutecký, DrSc, MD, for his helpful comments and Ing. I. Hrycejová for her assistance with data analysis. |
