Abstract

Treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is associated with neurocognitive deficits in young children. While computerized measures have been utilized in pediatric oncology research, they exclude patients below the age of 4 years old. Patients enrolled on “Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children and Adolescents” were offered participation in an optional cognitive study. Three-year old patients did not differ from four-year old patients on their ability to complete tests or perform tests. Including patients diagnosed at age 3 will serve to improve our understanding of at-risk patients and the cognitive trajectory of this age group both during treatment.
