Abstract
To the Editor: On behalf of our fellow authors, we thank Drs Totadri and Bansal for their thoughtful comments1 on our study2 describing the population‐based stage distribution among Australian children with hematologic malignancies. Their main point focuses not on our study specifically but rather the appropriateness of staging acute leukemia using central nervous system (CNS) involvement, as recommended by the Toronto Paediatric Cancer Stage Guidelines.3 They have two main arguments: that there are stronger prognosticators in acute leukemia and that CNS involvement is rare.1
