Abstract
Control of central nervous system (CNS) disease and overall survival have been analysed in a group of 829 children with leukaemia entered into the UKALL VIII trial to determine whether scheduling of the cranial irradiation is of prognostic significance. We show that short gaps in treatment do not influence prognosis and that current radiotherapy practice need not be modified.
