Abstract: We will be describing our experience with five patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who developed L-Asparaginase (L-Asp)-induced pancreatitis during their remission induction stage. The patients were treated, at the State Cancer Center of Durango, Mexico (CECAN-Durango) since December 2021, along with a group of 30 pediatric patients (in the remission induction phase of their treatment) who did not develop pancreatitis. All patients were diagnosed with (ALL) according to criteria from the French American-British Hematology Association (FAB). Once diagnosed, patients were treated according to the St. Jude Total XV protocol.
