Medical and technological advances along with people eating healthier and being way more worried about what they eat contributed to the increased life expectancy. Also, people exercise more than they once did. People are just worried about how they look and about their image that other people see. Plus, the medicine nowdays is phenominal. . .along with our understanding of the body and how it works.

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.
