Abstract

The present study evaluated the acute complications and survival rates of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We assessed 110 patients treated with the Children's Oncology Group protocol from 1999 to 2014. Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, although categorized as a curable malignancy owing to the improvements in treatment strategies in recent years, can cause acute complications affecting various systems.
