Abstract
Approximately 85% of ALL cases are B-ALL [2]. Cure rates for B-ALL significantly rose over the past five decades from 10% to 90% [1-3] due to multi-agent chemotherapy regiments, CNS prophylaxis and better risk stratification [3]. Despite these successes, about 2% of patients are refractory to chemotherapy and another 10% to 15% of patients will relapse [4]. Treatment for these patients remains a therapeutic challenge. Event free survival for Abstract
