Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequently reported cancer in paediatrics. Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fractures have been well-documented in this population, but long-term longitudinal trendlines of BMD and data about the impact of bone turnover markers are still scarce. Additionally, changes in body composition have to be furtherly analysed among childhood ALL survivors.St...
