RUIZ-ARGUELLES, Guillermo José. Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic leukemia in Mexico. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2016, vol.58, n.2, pp.291-295. ISSN 0036-3634.

In the last 60 years, there have been substantial advances regarding the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute and chronic leukemia in Mexico. Immunologic and molecular classifications of these diseases have improved both diagnosis and therapeutic capabilities. Although the pace of diagnostic and therapeutic advances has been slower compared with developed countries, Mexico is at the forefront among developing countries. Supporting research in these fields is expected to enhance the generation of new knowledge and improve the care of patients suffering from these diseases.
