Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia​​​

Acute lymphocytic leukaemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow in which your lymphocytes (a form of white blood cells) become affected. It is more common in children, though adults may also be affected.  

Acute lymphocytic leukaemia develops when the blood cell production in your bone marrow develops a fault. Immature cells called lymphoblast develop and start to take the place of normal and healthy cells, leading to cancer.

Risk factors typically associated with acute lymphocytic leukemia are:

  • Having been previously treated for cancer and consequently exposed to radiation or chemotherapy

  • Other instances of exposure to radiation or chemical substances

  • Blood or genetic disorders

  • A sibling who has had acute lymphocytic leukemia​​
