Asparaginase-Associated Pancreatitis In All: Results From The Nopho All2008 Treatment Of Patients 1-45 Years

We prospectively registered AAP during treatment of 2,448 consecutive Nordic/Baltic ALL patients aged 1.0-45.9 years treated according to the Nordic Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (NOPHO) ALL2008 protocol (7/2008-10/2018).
