The success of pediatric ALL therapy is remarkable but important challenges still need to be faced, including cure rates in specific patients' subsets (e.g.: adolescents and relapsed patients), and short- and long-term chemotherapy-related toxicities. The therapeutic scheme of the Associazione Italiana Emato-oncologia pediatrica (AIEOP) ALL protocols consists in a more intensive and toxic earlier phase (to induce and consolidate remission, about 6 months), followed by a prolonged period of immunosuppression (achieved by self- or parent-administered daily mercaptopurine (MP) and weekly methotrexate (MTX) per os). It is now well established that the length of the maintenance phase (up to 24 months after diagnosis) is as necessary as the early remission induction for sustained event-free
