[Global and disease-free survival in a peruvian cohort of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

CONCLUSIONS: The five-year OS and DFS figures for our population are lower than those for the world. More studies are needed to know the factors involved in this reality and thus generate interventions aimed at improving the survival and quality of life of our patients. The variables associated with the decrease in both survival indicators were age and leukocyte count at the time of diagnosis, so the process of disease diagnosis must be improved.
