Practical management during maintenance therapy of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Recommendations of the French Society for Childhood and Adolescent Cancer and Leukemia (SFCE)

Maintenance therapy is the last phase of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children and adolescents. Although maintenance therapy is associated with toxicities and specific management issues, it is an essential phase of treatment that reduces the risk of relapse. The objective of this work is to propose a guide for the initiation, administration, and monitoring of maintenance therapy, and for the management of food, schooling, leisure, community life, risk of infection and links with family medicine.
