| Abstract: | We report a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who underwent treatment comprising chemotherapy, radiotherapy (cranial and testicular) and then a bone marrow transplant from an identical twin. He was cured of his leukemia and has been disease-free for nine years. With long term survival, there were problems, notably those of growth and endocrine insufficiency, which needed special considerations in management. |
