The time it takes for leukemia to become fatal varies significantly depending on several factors, including the type of leukemia, the stage at diagnosis, the patient's overall health, and response to treatment. Acute forms, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), can progress rapidly, sometimes leading to death within weeks to months if untreated. Chronic forms, like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), may develop over years, allowing for more effective management and treatment options. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve survival rates.
