Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although the survival rate in childhood cancer is increased with current improvements of diagnostic and therapeutic methods, the incidence of second malignancy is now increasing. Therefore close follow-up with high index of suspicion for second malignancies are important for cancer survivng patients. We report our experiences of 3 second malignancies which were glioblastoma multiforme after treatment of acute lymphoblastic lymphoma, Philadelphia positive leukemia after treatment of osteosarcoma and acute myelogenous leukemia occuring in the course of chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is imperative that survivors of childhood cancer be closely followed for the detection of not only the relapse of original disease but also the occurrence of second malignancy.
