The highest 5 year survival probability was found in histiocytosis -X, 50 per cent and Hodgkin's lymphomas,45 per cent. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia had 43 per cent 2 year and 14 per cent, 5 year survivals. There were no 5 year survivals seen in acute myeloid leukaemia and showed the poorest survival.
