Histological subtypes included DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) and B-ALL (Burkitt Leukemia), Distant sites of disease included BM (bone marrow) and CNS (central nervous system). Treatment was derived from LMB-89 (French Society of Pediatric Oncology treatment regimen for mature B-cell malignancies).Responses included CR (complete remission) and CCR (continuous complete remission). Toxicity included VOD (veno-occlusive disease).
