Treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) 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. Patients enrolled on "Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children and Adolescents" were offered participation in an optional neurocognitive study. Three-year old patients did not differ from 4-year-old patients in their ability to perform or complete the tests. Including patients diagnosed at age 3 will serve to improve our understanding of at-risk patients and their neurocognitive trajectory both during and after treatment.
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)的治疗与幼儿的神经认知缺陷有关。虽然计算机化测量已用于儿科肿瘤学研究,但这些测量方法将4岁以下的患者排除在外。参与“儿童和青少年新诊断急性淋巴细胞白血病的治疗”的患者可选择参加一项神经认知研究。3岁患者在执行或完成测试的能力方面与4岁患者没有差异。纳入3岁时被诊断出的患者将有助于提高我们对高危患者及其在治疗期间和治疗后的神经认知轨迹的理解。
