Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. It primarily involves the rapid growth of immature white blood cells called lymphoblasts, which crowd out healthy cells, leading to symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising. ALL is most common in children but can also occur in adults. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy and may include targeted therapies or bone marrow transplants. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes.
