 | | Leukemia recurrence usually occurs while the child is receiving chemotherapy or within one year of stopping therapy. | | | Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. | | | Our research goals are to better understand the causes and mechanisms of leukemia, to improve survival with minimal or no long-term complications, and to better identify children at risk for relapse. |

| | Childhood Cancer: Leukemia |
| | As your child is treated for leukemia, your child's cancer treatment team will monitor the child closely for those side effects. | | | To decrease the chance that leukemia will invade the child's central nervous system, patients receive intrathecal chemotherapy, the administration of cancer-killing drugs into the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. | | | This will show whether the leukemia has spread to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). |
