Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(1):80-87.   Published online January 15, 1992
Leukemia is a neoplasm arising from the malignant transformation of hematopoietic cells. The incidence data of leukemia have not been available for Korean as a whole. The present study was therefore undertaken in order to estimate the incidence of childhood leukemia among Korean. The study population of this investigation was the beneficiaries of the Korea Medical Insurance Corporation(KMIC) during the period...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(8):1045-1056.   Published online August 31, 1991
A total of 293 human fetal kidneys, including those of 42 embryos are studied for the elucidation of temporal development of the kidney. These specimens were interpreted as normal by thorough postmortem examinations. The age of the specimens was determined by developmental horizon criteria in embryos and by correlating crown-rump length in fetuses. Embryos were embedded in toto, cut in various planes and reconstructed...

Throm- bocytopenic purpura, lymphocytosis or rarely lymphopenia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, positive direct Coombs test, reticulocytosis and DIC are known hematologic features. This 12 years old female patient was presented with pneumonia and pancytopenia....

As childhood cancer survivors are now increasing in number owing to the improvements in diagnosis, staging, and treatment, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of survival of these patients. One of the limitation to quality and length of survival has been the development of second malignant neoplasm (SMN). In Korea, only one case of SMN has been reported. However, one can expect that...

There has been a marked improvement in the treatment of childhood Hodgkin’s disease, and five-year survival rates for even advanced stages of Hodgkin’s disease approach or exceed more than 75% with modern treatment policies. However, successful therapy in childhood cancer is frequently...
