    Abstract : An increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cardiac abnormalities has been shown among adult GH deficient ALL survivors subjected to cranial irradiation. The ALL treatment includes many known risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), but little is known about pituitary insufficiencies, except for GH deficiency. READ MORE
