Bone marrow transplantation is currently the standard treatment for children in their first remission with AML. The standard treatment for ALL is combination chemotherapy. The standard treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is chemotherapy. Bone marrow transplantation is used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation. The treatment for Wilms' tumor consists of surgery and chemotherapy alone or in combination with radiation therapy. |
