ASK A DOCTOR: HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH LEUKEMIA?

Expert opinion from Rajesh Mishra

MBBS · Less than a year of experience · India

Today, the average five-year survival rate for all types of leukemia is 65. 8%. That means about 69 of every 100 people with leukemia are likely to live at least five years after diagnosis. Many people will live much longer than five years. The survival rates are lowest for acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Usually, it is observed as 5 years of survival rate, but early diagnosis and treatment may help manage the condition for a more extended period.
