What is the cure rate for acute leukemia?

Patient's question:

My child is only 8 years old and was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Can acute leukemia be cured? How much money is needed for the treatment?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, it is mainly acute leukemia, which can be seen in lymphocytic leukemia, granulocytic leukemia, and monocytic leukemia. This is not necessarily curable. If a careful examination reveals M3-type leukemia, it can be cured after chemotherapy. If a careful examination shows other types of leukemia, bone marrow transplantation would be the only option for rescue, but bone marrow transplantation is extremely expensive.
