Questions
Can a 10-year-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia be cured? How long is the treatment period? What is the approximate cost of treatment? The symptoms have lasted for a week, and the patient is generally in good condition, but occasionally feels weak.
Answers
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a malignant disease of the blood system. Treatment for childhood ALL generally involves chemotherapy to achieve complete remission and does not require bone marrow transplantation. Most cases can be cured completely, although the specific situation depends on the patient’s condition and risk level. Based on the treatment experience from multiple centers, with active treatment, the long-term survival rate for children with ALL can reach 80%, even allowing for a cure. To achieve ideal treatment effects, appropriate treatment plans should be adopted according to the different risk levels of ALL, and the principle of early and strong chemotherapy should be followed.
