ABSTRACT

The application of highly effective tumor treatment protocols in children and increasing number of patients healed resulted in a growing focus on long-term effects of chemotherapy. One of the most dangerous complications of a first malignant neoplasm (MN) is the development of second MNs. Cytostatic drugs of the epipodophyllotoxin group and alkylating agents contribute to secondary acute myeloid leukemias (AML), the rare and prognostically very unfavorable second MNs. The present article provides a review of literature on risks of secondary hematological MNs associated with the therapy of first tumors. It also contains a case report of successful treatment of AML which occurred after Burkitt’s lymphoma therapy.

Keywords: second malignant neoplasms, acute myeloid leukemias, Burkitt’s lymphoma, children.
