Follow-up care – Leukaemia Care e-learning

Regular monitoring of patients with ALL is essential. The purpose of follow-up care is to look for signs of relapse or complications.
Follow-up appointments will continue for several years. The frequency of appointments will depend on the type of treatment and the supportive care the patient has received.
For the purpose of monitoring MRD it is recommended that follow-up appointments be 3-monthly.
It is important to emphasise to patients that they should report any new symptoms or worrying side effects to the medical team as soon as possible.
