Infection Criteria

Patients are excluded if they have:

Chronic prophylaxis therapy to prevent infections is allowed.

Patients with Down syndrome and Fanconi Anemia are excluded.

Patients will be excluded if they have significant concurrent disease, illness, psychiatric
disorder or social issue that would compromise patient safety or compliance with protocol
treatment or required observations, interfere with consent, study participation, follow up,
or interpretation of study results.

Patients with known optic nerve and/or retinal involvement (because it may not be possible
to safely delay irradiation) are not eligible. Patients presenting with visual disturbances
by history or physical exam should have an ophthalmological exam and, if indicated, an MRI
