ALL leukemia is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
ALL is a fast-growing cancer of the white blood cells. This form of cancer is more common in children than adults, although both can have it.
As a childhood Leukemia Survivor, I have to say that it is more likely to accure in children, and this type of Leukemia has the highest survival rate.
What else can I help you with?
Can you have acute lymphoblastic leukemia and then get acute promyelocytic leukemia?
Yes, you can be diagnosed with ALL followed by AML. ALL is the cancer of lymphocytes whereas AML is the cancer of the myelocytes. It can be diagnosed together (Biphenotypic leukemia) or separately.
Do all down syndrome get lucemia?
No, not all individuals with Down syndrome develop leukemia. While they are at a higher risk for certain types of leukemia, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia, the majority do not experience this condition. Regular medical check-ups and monitoring can help in early detection and management if leukemia does occur.
What are the names of the different leukemias?
The main types of leukemia are classified into four primary categories: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Acute leukemias, such as ALL and AML, progress rapidly, while chronic leukemias, including CLL and CML, typically develop more slowly. Each type has distinct characteristics, treatment approaches, and prognoses.
What is the compound name for ALL?
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
Does leukemia lead to asthma?
No not at all loserz
Can newborns be born with leukemia?
Yes, newborns can be born with leukemia, although it is extremely rare. Most cases of leukemia in infants occur as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The exact cause of leukemia in newborns is not fully understood, but genetic factors and certain congenital conditions may play a role. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes.
What type of leukemia is associated with Down syndrome?
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Down Syndrome both have been associated with mutations in the JAK2 gene.
What bone does Leukemia affect?
Leukemia doesn't affect your body, it affects your circulatory system and affects your blood, but sometimes your hair can fall out depending on how severe your leukemia is.
How are leukemia classified?
Leukemia is classified primarily based on the type of blood cells affected and the speed of disease progression. It is divided into two main categories: acute and chronic, which refer to the rapidity of the disease's onset and progression. Additionally, leukemia can be categorized by the type of cell involved, such as lymphocytic (affecting lymphocytes) or myeloid (affecting myeloid cells). This results in four main types: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
Leukemia is a cancer of the?
Leukemia is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells, which are essential for the immune system. In leukemia, the bone marrow produces large numbers of abnormal white blood cells that do not function properly. These leukemia cells can crowd out normal blood cells, leading to problems with blood clotting, anemia, and a weakened immune system. There are different types of leukemia, and they are classified based on the type of white blood cell affected (lymphoid or myeloid) and whether the disease is acute or chronic. Acute leukemia progresses rapidly and requires immediate treatment, while chronic leukemia progresses more slowly and may not cause symptoms for many years. Common types of leukemia include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The specific type of leukemia and its classification influence the treatment approach and prognosis for individuals affected by the disease.
Is leukemia a non infectious or infectious disease?
leukemia is not infectious but it is genetic.
What is the death rate of children dying from leukemia?
* Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL): 66.1 percent overall; 91.2 percent for children under 5 * Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): 76.2 percent * Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML): 21.3 percent overall; 55.2 percent for children under 15 * Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML): 46.7 percent This is the survival rate.....NOT THE DEATH RATE.
