Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The term cancer encompasses a group of diseases characterised by the development of abnormal cells that divide, grow and spread uncontrollably throughout the body. Acute lymphocytic leukaemia is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is the most common form of cancer in children. The peak incidence is between two and five years of age. A literature review was conducted to characterise the development of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children. Journals and websites such as SciELO and Infomed were used, for a total of 17 references. The cause of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is unknown. The treatment of patients with ALL is tailored to the patient's risk at diagnosis.
