Since the advent of chemotherapy, the prognosis for childhood leukemia has improved greatly and children with ALL are estimated to have a 95% probability of achieving a successful remission after 4 weeks of initiating treatment. People in pediatric care with ALL in developed countries have a greater than 80% five-year survival rate.
CLL is the most common type of leukemia in the Western world compared to non-Western regions such as Asia, Latin America, and Africa. [88] It is observed globally that males are twice as likely than females to acquire CLL. [88] CLL is primarily a disease of older adults, with 9 out of 10 cases occurring after the age of 50 years.

Five-year survival rate was 67% in the United States in the period from 2014 to 2020. [4] In children under 15 in first-world countries, the five-year survival rate is greater than 60% or even 90%, depending on the type of leukemia. For infants (those diagnosed under the age of 1), the survival rate is around 40%.
Age adjusted mortality rates per 100,000 people, 2013-2017. [1] All Cancer: 158.3 Oral cancer: 0.0 Esophageal cancer: 3.9 Stomach cancer: 3.1 Colorectal cancer: 13.9 Liver cancer and bile duct cancer: 6.6 Gallbladder cancer: 0.6 Pancreatic cancer: 11.0 Laryngeal cancer: 1.0 Lung cancer: 40.2 Tracheal cancer (including other respiratory organs) 0.1
The five-year survival rate is about 35% in people under 60 years old and 10% in people over 60 years old. [3] Older people whose health is too poor for intensive chemotherapy have a typical survival of five to ten months. [3] It accounts for roughly 1.1% of all cancer cases, and 1.9% of cancer deaths in the United States. [2]
The prognosis of adult-AMKL in patients treated for the disease is far below that of other forms of AMKL. Their median overall survival times are only 18 to 41 weeks with 5 year survival rates of only 10-11 percent. Major improvements in these statistics will likely require new approaches directed at the underlying mechanisms driving the ...
