Factors associated with poor quality of life in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia and lymphoma

Background Previous studies of health‐related quality of life (QoL) in childhood cancer survivors have hardly focused on factors associated with poor QoL. The aims of our study were: (1) to assess QoL in long‐term survivors (LTSs) of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphomas compared to age‐matched controls from the general population (NORMs).
