During medical treatment children with leukemia are at risk of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal complications such as reduced ankle range of motion, reduced muscle strength, gross and fine motor performance impairment, decreased energy consumption, osteonecrosis and osteoporosis. These conditions can develop as a result of cancer or its treatment. These neuromuscular and musculoskeletal complications can affect dynamic balance, endurance and quality of life of the children. Childhood cancers have negative effects on sleep; sleep complaints can develop with the diagnosis and continue even after recovery period.The aim of this study is to identify the status of sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in children with various types of cancer and to examine the relationship between these conditions.
