How long can you live after being diagnosed with leukemia

Patient's question:

My friend's child is six years old this year. A few days ago, he told me that his friend said he felt a tightness and pain in his chest. My friend then took him to a hospital in the town for a thorough examination. Today, the report came out—it's advanced leukemia. My friend is very sad, anxious, and helpless. It's been a week since the illness started, and my friend is now feeling helpless and doesn't know what to do. He's very worried about his child's safety. How long can someone with advanced leukemia live?

Doctor's answer:

Leukemia needs to be treated early. It is divided into many different types, and in clinical diagnosis, there are often varying degrees of anemia, fever, infection, skin breakdown, and varying degrees of swelling in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. Immature cells can reappear in bone marrow and peripheral blood. Leukemia needs to be treated early. It is divided into acute and chronic types, and if it is acute leukemia, it needs to be treated early. The natural course lasts from one to one year, and some leukemias need to be treated early. After treatment, some people live for 10 to 10 years, and 20 to 20 years is not uncommon. Treating leukemia needs to be treated early. If bone marrow transplantation is performed and it is relatively successful, it can lead to a long life.
