Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - National Cancer Institute - Department of Pediatric Oncology Summary: Background Mature B-cell non Hodgkin Lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in pediatric age group. Although the survival of the patients had been significantly improved after treatment with multi agents, non-cross resistant chemotherapy over short time interval, the patients with relapsed/refractory disease have a dismal prognosis. Methods A retrospective cohort study reviewed all relapsed/refractory mature B-cell non Hodgkin Lymphoma patients under age of 18 years at diagnosis diagnose at National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, during the time period from January 2008 to end of December 2015. Results The incidence of relapsed/ refractory disease was (7.6 %) as there were 23 patients out of 303, with median age of 8 years, it showed male predominance with male to female ratio 1.9:1, 16 patients (69.6%) had Burkitt lymphoma and 7 patients (30.4%) had Burkitt leukemia. 14 patients (60.9%) were initially treated in risk group B, 9 patients (39.1%) were initially treated in risk group C.13 patients (56,5%) had relapse/progression in one site and 10 patients(43.5%) had relapse/progression in multiple sites. 22 patients (95,7%) received salvage chemotherapy and 4 patients achieved complete remission, all of them are alive and only one had stem cell transplantation. Conclusion: The incidence of relapse/refractory disease in patients with mature B cell non -Hodgkin lymphoma treated at National Cancer Institute during the time period from January 2008 to end of December 2015 was comparable to international results during the same period. Its outcome is very poor, approximately two thirds of mortalities were caused by infection raising the importance of infection control and strong supportive care measures for this patient population
