Question
How should acute lymphoblastic leukemia be treated?
Answer
The overall treatment principle for acute lymphoblastic leukemia is to maximize the elimination of leukemia cells and control the disease through chemotherapy and other symptomatic treatments. The treatment is divided into two stages: pre-relief treatment and post-relief treatment, including induction of remission, maintenance therapy, and post-relief treatment. Chemotherapy is the main treatment method, and other treatment methods, such as stem cell transplantation, may be required to improve the cure rate.
