Can childhood leukemia be cured?

Patient's question:

The child next door had been frequently nosebleeding recently, and sometimes it was hard to stop. Later, his family was quite worried and took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was said that leukemia is difficult to treat, and I don't know if childhood leukemia can be cured now.

Doctor's answer:

Leukemia has different treatment methods depending on its subtype, and the cure rate also varies. If it is a severe and refractory leukemia, it is relatively difficult to achieve a complete cure. However, there is a small portion of leukemia subtypes that still show relatively ideal treatment effects. Therefore, it is recommended to promptly determine the subtype of leukemia, examine the condition, and then proceed with an appropriate treatment plan. Lastly, in daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
