Abstract

We retrospectively compared 47 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients who received Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster chemotherapy and 83 ALL. patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (AHSCT). While there was no difference in overall survival between the 2 groups, disease-free survival was found to be significantly higher in the AHSCT group.
