    Because of the prolonged survival, which was typically about 10 years in past decades, but which can extend to a normal life expectancy, the prevalence (number of people living with the disease) is much higher than the incidence (new diagnoses). [2] CLL is the most common type of leukemia in the UK, accounting for 38% of all leukemia cases.

    These blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells. [2] Symptoms may include bleeding and bruising, bone pain, fatigue, fever, and an increased risk of infections. [2] These symptoms occur due to a lack of normal blood cells. [2] Diagnosis is typically made by blood tests or bone marrow biopsy. [2]

    In childhood, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients can expect a 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate of 70% and an overall survival (OS) rate of 80%. [1] Among the approximately 25% of children who relapse, survival rates drop to 30-50%, with patients generally showing a much poorer prognosis. [ 1 ]

    Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the development of large numbers of immature lymphocytes. [1] Symptoms may include feeling tired, pale skin color, fever, easy bleeding or bruising, enlarged lymph nodes, or bone pain. [1]

    A Mayo Clinic study of 124 patients initially diagnosed as having non-secretory multiple myeloma were later found to be composed of 65% free light chain secretors and 35% true non-secretors. As a group, these patients response to therapy, time to disease recurrence, and overall survival were similar to typical myeloma patients.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    The prognosis depends on the type of cells affected, the number of blasts in the bone marrow or blood, and the changes present in the chromosomes of the affected cells. [3] The average survival time following diagnosis is 2.5 years. [4] MDS was first recognized in the early 1900s; [5] it came to be called myelodysplastic syndrome in 1976. [5]

  9. Acute promyelocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_promyelocytic_leukemia

    Acute promyelocytic leukemia was first characterized in 1957 [4] [5] by French and Norwegian physicians as a hyperacute fatal illness, [3] with a median survival time of less than a week. [6] Today, prognoses have drastically improved; 10-year survival rates are estimated to be approximately 80-90% according to one study. [7] [6] [8]
