A Retrospective Cohort Analysis of Children and Adolescents With Lymphoblastic Lymphoma in Latin America
Diagnosis of pediatric LLy in Latin America was challenging; however, the proportions of T-cell and precursor B-cell immunophenotypes were balanced. Most patients presented with high-risk disease, and many had critical conditions, leading to a relatively high toxic death rate. Improvements in diagnosis, supportive measures, and follow-up are imperative to decrease treatment abandonment and improve the outcomes of pediatric patients with LLy in Latin America.
