ALL-Active: A Family-Based Lifestyle Program for Pediatric Acute Leukemia Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Remission
In brief
This randomized pilot phase II trial studies how well nutritional intervention and exercise intervention works in preventing metabolic syndrome in younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Nutritional intervention may help weight loss and improve quality of life in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Exercise may help decrease feelings of being tired caused by cancer, may help improve strength, and may help build up lost muscle tissue. Nutritional intervention plus exercise intervention may be effective at preventing metabolic syndrome.
