What is the death rate of children dying from leukemia?
The death rate for children with leukemia varies depending on the type of leukemia and other factors. Overall, the survival rate for children with leukemia has significantly improved over the years with advances in treatment. Approximately 80-90% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of leukemia in children, can be cured with current treatments.
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.
What is the average life expectancy of a patient with Acute Myelocytic Leukemia?

What is the life expectancy of someone with leukemia?
Complete remission occurs in 70 - 80% of patients. Overall, about 33% of persons under age 65 survive free of disease at 5 years from diagnosis. This 5-year survival rate drops dramatically (4%) in those older than 65. In general, patients who are younger have a better chance of survival than older patients. This is partly due to one's ability to tolerate the strong chemotherapy medicines. Patients who have not experienced a relapse during these 5 years are considered permanently cured, since most relapses occur within 2 years of diagnosis. Without treatment, life expectancy is about 3 - 4 months. There are four basic types of leukemia. The above answer loosely applies to the two acute forms. In the chronic forms, the life expectancy is 10-20 years.
