OUTCOME OF CHILDHOOD ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKAEMIA IN A PAEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY UNIT IN GHANA

Abstract

Despite high cure rates for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in developed countries, this success is not mirrored in resource-poor countries where most children with cancers live. The study objective was to determine the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes of ALL in children admitted to the paediatric oncology unit of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana
