Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Treatment - Because acute lymphocytic leukemia affects everyone differently, treatment varies for each individual and is based on factors like age, general health, disease subtype, and more. Treatment for ALL is complex. It is typically broken into phases, beginning with the induction phase (including a combination of several medications), and followed by the consolidation and maintenance phases. Some of the treatment options for acute lymphocytic leukemia may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and stem cell transplantation.
