Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related death in children and adolescents. Five-year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the mortality from treatment-related toxicity approaching rates that are associated with relapse. This manuscript reviews the imaging features of the common treatment-associated abdominal complications in children with ALL.
