Modern Trends in Human Leukemia III - Blog Science Connections

Treatment ofChildhood Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia 33
should be concentrated on understanding the fundamental biology of children's
ALL and on its practical application for specific, effective, simple, safe
and cheap treatment. In this way we can ass ure that all children in the
worId will benefit from our science and we can best fulfill our obligations as
scientists and physicians.
