This has been a comprehensive study, the details of which appear elsewhere.1 This report summarizes the information obtained from this analysis as it pertains to the age and sex distribution of the group, the histologic classification, transitions of the disease to leukemia, the results and complications of therapy, and the prognosis and survival of various subgroups.CASE SELECTIONThe study includes all cases where the probable clinical onset of disease occurred from 1928 through 1952....Bibliography1.
