Abstract

Thank you for the honor of sharing in this memorial to Frederick Stohlman. The work I will report today represents the efforts of many physicians and scientists who have tried to understand and control childhood leukemia.

This lecture is based on work performed at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital supported by National Cancer Institute grants CA 08480, CA 07594, CA05176, CA08151, by the American Cancer Society and by ALSAC. The work of the Midwest Children’s Cancer Center is supported by National Cancer Institute grants CA 17997, CA 17700, CA 17851, by the American Cancer Society, the Faye McBeath Foundation and the Milwaukee Athletes Against Childhood Cancer.
