Assessment of the State of the Oral Mucosa in Children With Acute Leukemias With Chemotherapeutic Treatment

Abstract

Acute leukemias are the most common group of malignant neoplasms in children, accounting for up to 30-35% of all oncological diseases in the pediatric population. Every year, around 50,000 new cases of acute leukemia are diagnosed in children worldwide, with acute lymphocytic leukemia occurring in 80-85% of cases and acute myeloblastic leukemia in 15-20%. Modern chemotherapeutic treatment protocols have allowed achieving a five-year survival rate exceeding 85% in acute lymphocytic leukemia and 60-70% in acute myeloblastic leukemia, representing significant progress in pediatric oncohematology.
