Description
Regragui and colleagues published a 2026 study on childhood blood cancers in a Moroccan hospital. Acute leukemias are the commonest childhood cancers, yet local data stay thin. The team reviewed 106 children diagnosed over two years in Rabat. They checked how a cell-sorting test, flow cytometry, sharpened each diagnosis.
Lymphoid leukemia made up about 81 percent of the cases overall. Myeloid leukemia accounted for 16 percent, with a rare mixed type behind. Boys outnumbered girls nearly two to one across the full group. Flow cytometry pinned down cell lineage where basic tests left doubt. The method proved vital where gene testing is not available locally. Odd antigen patterns were common, so panels must stay broad.
