    Journal: Helv Paediatr Acta; 1977 Apr; 31(6):463-71. PubMed ID: 265943.
    Abstract:
    In 22 children who were in complete remission after acute lymphoblastic leukaemia endocrinological investigations were performed 5-12 weeks after cessation of therapy. The children had received central nervous system irradiation (tele-Co60, 850-1800 rad), and long term, aggressive cytostatic drug therapy during 21 to 36 months. Growth hormone, TSH, thyroxine, LH, FSH, cortisol secretion, and urinary concentrating capacity were found to be normal, with a few exceptions where borderline results were obtained.
