Overview
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects lymphoid white blood cells in the bone marrow. It is most common in children but can also occur in adults. Early diagnosis and specialized hematology-oncology care are essential for improving survival and achieving remission.
Symptoms
Symptoms of ALL may include fatigue, weakness, frequent infections, fever, easy bruising or bleeding, swollen lymph nodes, bone or joint pain, unexplained weight loss, and shortness of breath. Some patients may also experience night sweats or pale skin due to anemia.
Risk Factors
Risk factors include age (children and adults over 50), male gender, previous cancer treatment with chemotherapy or radiation, genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, family history of leukemia, and exposure to certain chemicals or radiation.
