Caring for the patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be challenging. From the time the diagnosis of ALL is suspected, there is no organ system that is immune from the consequences of this disease or its therapies. Patients may develop complications such as arrhythmias, infection, hyperleukocytosis, bleeding, or thrombosis before treatment can even be initiated. Moreover, the disease, by virtue of its acuity and risks as well as the prolonged duration of treatment, is psychologically very difficult for patients and their families. This is further complicated by some of the treatment modalities used in this disease. In this chapter, we will focus on the most common and important clinical issues encountered in caring for patients with ALL receiving standard chemotherapy, the identification of which we consider to be some of the cornerstones of successful ALL management.
