Generally, children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are considered to be in remission when doctors cannot see any cancerous cells in their bone marrow when looking through a microscope. However, a genetic-fingerprinting technique called PCR, for polymerase chain reaction, can spot as few as five cancer cells in every 100,000 cells. Using this test, doctors examined 178 children who appeared to be in remission after undergoing chemotherapy, and detected traces of cancer in 42 percent of them. During three years of follow-up, 8 percent of those who appeared cancer-free on the PCR test suffered a relapse, compared with 40 percent of those who showed traces of disease.
