Abstract
Despite cure rates approaching 100% for some subsets of patients, survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) report a multitude of short- and long-term side effects. Indeed, the long-term complications of pediatric ALL treatment regimens can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Identifying mitigation strategies and developing more effective, less toxic therapies is a central goal of current research.
