How is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated?

Patient's question:

My brother was recently carefully diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at the hospital. Can this disease still be cured? How is it treated?

Doctor's answer:

Acute lymphocytic leukemia is a malignant disease of the hematologic system. Treatment is generally carried out through chemotherapy, while also coordinating anti-infection, correcting anemia, medication, and other symptomatic supportive treatments. If the chemotherapy is not effective, bone marrow transplantation can be considered. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's hematology department for follow-up treatment, to seek early medical intervention for better outcomes. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and ensure a balanced nutrition.
