Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer that starts from white blood cells called lymphocytes in the bone marrow. Adults and children can get it but it is most often diagnosed in younger people.
Chemotherapy is the main treatment. Some people also have a stem cell transplant, targeted cancer drugs, immunotherapy or radiotherapy.
The information in this section is about adults with ALL. We have separate information about childhood ALL.
