Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

Prognosis

Leukemia is a very serious disease which can have many complications. Complications can come from the disease itself and the treatments. Acute leukemia has a much quicker and more dramatic onset, but can sometimes be cured. Chronic Leukiemia has a slower onset and can often be put off for years. However, chronic leukemia is very rarely cured.
