Summary

This study aims to create a simple, objective tool to detect nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug vincristine in children and teens. Researchers will test a new device on 40 patients aged 6-18 who have received vincristine for leukemia. The goal is to catch nerve problems early, so doctors can adjust treatment to reduce long-term side effects while still fighting the cancer effectively.
