neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. the co- occurrence of neuroblastoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia is rare. we report a rare case of advanced-stage neuroblastoma in a 3.5-year-old girl that was accompanied by acute lymphoblastic leukemia following treatment. her leukemia may have been due to chemotherapy (secondary leukemia) or may have been de novo.

abstractintroduction: the role of breast-feeding in protection against childhood acute leukemia is uncertain. in this study, we tested the hypothesis that breast-feeding decreases the risk of 300 patients we investigated childhood acute leukemia. materials and methods: in a case control study, we inrestigated 300 patients, aged 2±13 years, with acute leukemia, as well as 300 controls, individua...

background: the aim of this study was to detect the prognostic significance of survivin level and the expression of total p53 in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) and its correlation to patients' outcome. methods: sixty two children newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were treated with chemotherapy and followed up for 2 years or until death. twenty apparently healthy volunteers w...

background : leukemia is the most common cancer in children, accounting for near to half of all childhood cancers. different risk factors might be effective in the occurrence of this cancer such as parental characteristics. this study was done in west azarbaijan province in order to determine the relation between parental characteristics and acute leukemia in children. methods : this matched ca...

Introduction:  Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children and the main form of childhood leukemia (75%). ALL different treatment options have a great impact on children weight and appetite. The improving prognosis for children with cancer refocuses attention to long-term outcomes with an emphasis on quality of life. More survival rate allows researchers to eval...

Building on recent work by Rosenzweig (1999), this paper re-examines the effect of AFDC benefits on early non-marital childbearing. Unlike most previous work in this area, Rosenzweig finds a statistically significant and quantitatively large positive effect of AFDC benefits. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we replicate Rosenzweig’s analysis and explore the reasons his findin...

This research seeks to reevaluate the relationship between AFDC and fertility by focusing on births to women through the age of twenty-three using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Using discrete time hazard models, I examine the impact of AFDC on births directly associated with AFDC, on out-of-wedlock births, and on all births. I also examine the importance of AFDC on...
