Abstract in English
Relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the central nervous system
(CNS) in adults is considered a poor prognostic feature. Few reports have analyzed this issue. The
objective of this study was to estimate the experience with CNS recurrence in adult patients with ALL,
then to choose the best therapy.
