Acute lymphoblastic leukemiaPatients treated with chemotherapy and radiation:
 Annual physical examination, including growth assessment, skin examination, and testicular examination
 Annual eye and dental examinations
 Chest radiography, pulmonary function testing, and audiometry as needed based on symptoms
 Baseline ECG every two to five years if treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy (e.g., daunorubicin, doxorubicin)
Patients treated with HSCT:
 One year post-HSCT: bone density testing, eye examination, pulmonary function test
 After one year: annual physical examination, including growth assessment and full body skin examination; annual audiology; eye and dental examinations
Patients with cranial or craniospinal radiation:
 Low threshold for neuroimaging for neurologic symptoms
Patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation:
 Annual CBC with differential up to 10 years after last treatment
 Annual comprehensive metabolic panel, liver and thyroid function testing, magnesium and phosphorous levels
 Urinalysis if presenting with hematuria, frequency, or urgency
 If treated before 1972, one-time hepatitis B surface antigen and core antibody and hepatitis C antibody testing
 If treated before 1993, one-time hepatitis C antibody testing
 If treated between 1977 and 1985, one-time HIV testing
Patients treated with HSCT:
 CBC every one to two months for the first year, every three to six months for the second year, and every six to 12 months after two years
One year post-HSCT:
 Comprehensive metabolic panel (including magnesium, calcium, and phosphorous levels), urinalysis, liver function tests, ferritin level
 After one year: annual comprehensive metabolic panel, urinalysis, magnesium and phosphorous levels
Age-appropriate immunizations
Live vaccines should not be administered during chemotherapy
Live vaccines may be administered 24 months post-HSCT
Inactivated vaccines may be administered six to 12 months post-HSCT
Age- and sex-specific cancer screening
Acute myelogenous leukemiaPatients treated with chemotherapy and radiation:
 Annual physical examination
 Baseline ECG every two to five years if treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy (e.g., daunorubicin, doxorubicin)
Patients treated with HSCT:
 One year post-HSCT: bone density testing, eye examination, pulmonary function test
 After one year: annual physical examination, including growth assessment and full body skin examination; annual audiology; eye and dental examinations
Patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation:
 CBC every one to two months for two years, then every three to six months for up to five years
Patients treated with HSCT:
 CBC every one to two months for the first year, every three to six months for the second year, and every six to 12 months thereafter
One year post-HSCT:
 Comprehensive metabolic panel (including magnesium, calcium, and phosphorous levels), urinalysis, liver function tests, ferritin level

Age- and sex-specific cancer screening
Chronic lymphocytic leukemiaPatients being monitored without treatment:
 History and physical examination every six to 12 months assessing for progressive symptoms (e.g., fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, fever); examination should include evaluation for hepatosplenomegaly and skin examination to assess for skin cancer
Patients receiving treatment:
 Baseline ECG with referral to cardiologist depending on findings or if signs or symptoms of heart failure develop
CBC every six to 12 months; if progressive anemia or thrombocytopenia develop, refer to hematologistAvoid live vaccination for patients being monitored without treatment COVID-19 vaccination
Pneumococcal vaccination every five years
Annual influenza vaccine
Age and sex-specific cancer screening
Chronic myelogenous leukemiaPatients being treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor:
 Annual physical examination with monitoring for adverse effects, including arteriothrombotic events, cardiovascular complications, diarrhea, edema, gastrointestinal upset, headache, and muscle cramps
Patients being treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor:
 CBC every three months; if leukopenia or thrombocytopenia develop, refer to hematologist
