[The care pathway of a child with leukaemia]

Abstract

Each year in France, 500 children and their family are faced with a diagnosis of leukaemia. Their lives then become centred on this disease. From diagnosis to cure, and over the following years, a special relationship is established between the child, their family and the staff of the paediatric haemato-oncology department.
