Tracking Health Related Quality of Life From Diagnosis to Follow-Up Among Australian Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is one of the most treatable forms of paediatric cancer; however, there is a substantial burden of treatment-related toxicities (TRTs). In addition, the long-term changes in children's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) due to toxic treatments are not well understood.
