Abstract

Patient history, physical findings, and laboratory and diagnostic tests can assist in efficient and effective assessments of adults with leukemia who are undergoing conventional chemotherapy and follow-up monitoring. A systematic approach can enhance assessment and improve early detection of common problems that impact complications, care, and cost.
