What Does ALL Stand For?
ALL stands for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the rapid proliferation of immature white blood cells, known as lymphoblasts. This condition primarily impacts young children but can also occur in adults. Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, and weight loss. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and may include stem cell transplantation, aiming to achieve remission and restore healthy blood cell counts. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes.
