Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of acute leukemia that is more commonly seen in children, although it can also occur in adults. The prognosis for childhood ALL and adult ALL differs, with childhood ALL generally having a better outcome following aggressive treatment. Approximately 70-80% of pediatric patients can potentially be cured. In contrast, the cure rate for adult ALL is somewhat lower, typically around 40-50%. For acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the VP regimen is commonly used for chemotherapy, and supportive care is also crucial. - If a patient has severe anemia, packed red blood cells may be transfused. - If platelet counts are significantly low, platelet transfusions may be administered. - In cases of severe infection, broad-spectrum antibiotics are used for treatment. For adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia, bone marrow transplantation may also be considered as a treatment option.
