Background: Survivors of childhood leukaemia (ALL) treated with cranial radiotherapy (CRT) are at risk for cognitive impairment. Whether the impairment progresses with follow-up time and if survivors with cognitive impairment have an increased risk for overweight, is unknown. We aimed to investigate the long-term cognitive functioning in ALL survivors treated with CRT in comparison to matched controls.Method: Cognitive functioning was investigated in 38 ...

Context: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy and its treatment includes many known risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), e.g. glucocorticosteroids, methotrexat and cranial radiotherapy (CRT).Objective: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and markers of bone turn over in a group of adults with childhood onset ALL, treated with CRT and to evaluate the effect of 5 years with, and 8 years without GH thera...
