Altered resting state functional connectivity in young survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Chemotherapy treatment for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been associated with long‐term cognitive impairments in some patients. However, the neurobiologic mechanisms underlying these impairments, particularly in young survivors, are not well understood. This study aimed to examine intrinsic functional brain connectivity in pediatric ALL and its relationship with cognitive status.
