Overview
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia accounts for about 80% of all leukaemia cases in Hong Kong. It affects around 50 to 60 children each year.
In leukaemia, the white blood cells have turned malignant. They multiply incessantly in the bone marrow, thus affecting the function of normal bone marrow; at the same time, the cancer cells spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. Common symptoms of leukaemia include a persistent fever, malaise, paleness of the skin, easy bruising, gum and nose bleeding, enlargement of the lymph glands, poor appetite and weight loss. The cure rate for this form of cancer is around 80%.
