Cancer mortality rates are determined by the relationship of a population's health and lifestyle with their healthcare system. In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [ 1 ]

In Australia, leukemia is the eleventh most common cancer. [86] In 2014–2018, Australians diagnosed with leukemia had a 64% chance (65% for males and 64% for females) of surviving for five years compared to the rest of the Australian population–there was a 21% increase in survival rates between 1989–1993.

The five-year survival rate is about 35% in people under 60 years old and 10% in people over 60 years old. [3] Older people whose health is too poor for intensive chemotherapy have a typical survival of five to ten months. [3] It accounts for roughly 1.1% of all cancer cases, and 1.9% of cancer deaths in the United States. [2]
