Effect of Bovine Colostrum on Toxicity and Inflammatory Responses During Treatment of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common form of childhood cancers. Cure rates
are improving, but the intensity of treatment is limited by toxicity. 2-5% of patients die
of treatment related complications, mostly related to therapy-induced toxicity and immune
suppression. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the ability a colostrum containing
diet to limit gastrointestinal toxicity including chemotherapy induced inflammation. The
study is based on patients treated according to the current NOPHO protocol.
