What is Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow in which the body produces large numbers of abnormal white blood cells called lymphocytes. These unhealthy cells crowd out normal blood cells, affecting the body's ability to fight infections and carry oxygen.
- It is the most common type of cancer seen in children.
- Common symptoms include fever, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, tiredness and bone or joint pain.
- ALL progresses quickly and requires early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
- Treatment usually involves multiple phases of chemotherapy, along with supportive care to manage side effects and protect overall health.
