Summary

This study looks at why some survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have weak muscles. Researchers will use MRI scans, ultrasound, and small muscle biopsies to measure how well muscle cells produce energy. The goal is to learn more about the link between cancer treatment and long-term muscle problems, not to test a new treatment.
