Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Daisuke Tomizawa and Nobutaka Kiyokawa
Abstract Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for a quarter of malignant neoplasms in children and adolescents. With continuous effort on developing risk- stratified multi-agent chemotherapy through cooperative clinical trials worldwide, survival rate of childhood ALL increased from less than 10% in the 1960s to approximately 90% nowadays. Recent advance in genomic analyses is rapidly increasing our understanding of the pathobiology of ALL, which may lead to a development of novel molecular targeted therapy and finally to overcome the disease in future.
2.1 Introduction Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant disorder of lymphoid progenitor cells and the most common type of malignant neoplasms in children and adolescents. Development of multi-agent chemotherapy and risk stratification based on leukemia biology and early treatment response have improved the overall cure rate of childhood ALL to 80% or higher, which is one of the most successful story in the history of human medicine (Table 2.1) [1–12]. In this chapter, advances in the pathobiology and clinical management of ALL in children will be described.
