Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) Overview

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the overproduction of immature white blood cells known as lymphoblasts. These abnormal cells crowd out healthy blood-forming cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, and pale complexion. Although ALL primarily affects children, it can also develop in adults.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) Overview

The exact cause of ALL is not fully understood, but genetic predispositions, previous cancer treatments, and radiation exposure are recognized risk factors. Treatment typically begins with chemotherapy and may include targeted therapy or stem cell transplantation, with the goal of achieving remission. Thanks to advances in treatment, especially pediatric therapies, ALL has become one of the most curable types of leukemia when detected and treated early.
