Abstract

Chronic myelogenous leukemia is relatively uncommon in childhood, occurring as both an “adult” and “juvenile” form. The clinical presentation and course are fairly well defined, especially for the adult type. Though extensive advances in understanding the pathogenesis and cytogenetics of the adult form have been made in the last 25 years, treatment is still quite unsatisfactory. Newer chemotherapeutic agents and improvement in bone marrow transplantation techniques may offer the best chance of success.
