<12 mos: close to 100%
after 12 mos: 10-15%….concordance in infant twins due to early chrom translocations and transplacental trasnfer or leuk/preleuk cells to other twin…KMT2A

t-cell
risks of hyperleuk more in ALL or AML?
AML
What can genotype of ALL help determine? (3)
prognosis, tx stratification, and soemtimes use of targeted therapies (eg TKI for Ph+ ALL)
WHat defines NCI risk group?
age and WBC (doesn’t apply to T_ALL)…wbc and age at dx NOT prognostic in T-ALL!
what’s the strongest prognostic factor
response to therapy

75-80%
what % of B-ALL patients are infants? outcomes are ___
1%; poor
Describe principle re: giving diff treatment to HR groups:
Improviing outcomes by giving more intense tx to HR groups that LR groups would otherwise not need
what is the relevance of t(1;19) in B-ALL?
used to be associated with poor outcome, but now irrelevant if give more intense therapy
How does BFM redefine initial risk?
Gives 7 days prophase of steroids with one IT mtx to determine initial risk, then refines based on MRD and some genetics
