  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK568716/

  Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is a malignancy of B or T lymphoblasts characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal, immature lymphocytes and their progenitors which ultimately leads to the replacement of bone marrow elements and other lymphoid organs resulting in a typical disease pattern characteristic of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. […] Patients with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia typically present with symptoms related to anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia due to the replacement of the bone marrow with tumor. […] Nursing Diagnosis: Weight loss, Bruising, Pain, Fatigue, weakness, No appetite, Fever, Pale, Anxiety. […] Children who are suspected of having Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia should be referred to a pediatric center that specializes in cancer for evaluation and treatment.

  https://www.rnpedia.com/nursing-notes/medical-surgical-nursing-notes/leukemia-acute/

  There are two major forms of acute leukemia: lymphocytic leukemia and nonlymphocytic leukemia. Up to 90% of acute leukemias are a form of lymphocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is characterized by the abnormal growth of lymphocyte precursors called lymphoblasts. Death occurs when the abnormal cells encroach on vital tissues and cause complications and organ dysfunction. […] Risk for infection related to decreased primary and secondary responses. […] Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) drugs include prednisone, vincristine, daunorubicin, L-asparaginase or pegaspargase, methotrexate, and cyclophosphamide. […] To treat leukemia in the brain or prevent it from spreading to the brain and central nervous system, methotrexate and cytarabine/cytosine arabinoside are injected into the spinal canal. This is called intrathecal chemotherapy.

  https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/types/leukemias/types/acute-lymphocytic-leukemia-all

  Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a rare cancer. It affects about 3,000 adults in the United States each year. The incidence of the disease increases with age. It is less common among women and African Americans. […] In children, however, ALL is the most common form of leukemia. It accounts for about three-quarters of pediatric leukemia cases. If you are a young adult who has been diagnosed with ALL, you may receive the same treatments that are used for children with ALL. […] Chemotherapy and stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation are the standard approaches for adult-onset ALL. The treatment that we recommend for you will depend on the specific features of the disease. For example, if you are diagnosed with Philadelphia-positive ALL, you may receive targeted therapies. You may also receive a kind of immunotherapy in which your own immune cells are trained to seek out and destroy the cancer, called CAR T cell therapy. […] Our experts can often provide a same-day appointment for patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Call 646-497-9154 to make an appointment.

  St. Jude has led the way in how the world treats childhood leukemia since the hospital opened in 1962. […] St. Jude patients with ALL have a 94% survival rate. […] St. Jude investigators showed that radiation can be safely omitted from the treatment of most patients with ALL. […] St. Jude researchers found that there are more than 30 subtypes of ALL. They are based on changes in genes and chromosomes in the leukemia cells. This finding has transformed treatment for ALL. Treatment plans are now based on a child’s subtype and how it responds to specific treatments. The discovery was made possible by the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project. […] At St. Jude, children with ALL can take part in clinical trials if they choose. These studies use the most advanced treatments available. Our goal is to improve each child’s chance of cure and to reduce the side effects of treatment.

  The care plan for the leukemic patient should emphasize comfort, minimize the adverse effects of chemotherapy, promote preservation of veins, manage complications, and provide teaching and psychological support. […] The clinical picture varies with the type of leukemia as well as the treatment implemented, so the following must be assessed: Health history. The health history may reveal a range of subtle symptoms reported by the patient before the problem is detectable on physical examination. Physical examination. A thorough, systematic assessment incorporating all body systems is essential. Laboratory results. The nurse also must closely monitor the results of laboratory studies and culture results need to be reported immediately. […] Based on the assessment data, major nursing diagnoses for the patient with ALL may include: Risk for infection related to overproduction of immature WBCs. Risk for impaired skin integrity related to toxic effects of chemotherapy, alteration in nutrition, and impaired immobility. Imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements, related to hypermetabolic state, anorexia, mucositis, pain, and nausea. Acute pain and discomfort related to mucositis, leukocyte infiltration of systemic tissues, fever, and infection. Hyperthermia related to tumor lysis or infection. Fatigue and activity intolerance related to anemia, infection, and deconditioning.

• #28 Typical Treatment of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) | American Cancer Society

  https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/acute-lymphocytic-leukemia/treating/typical-treatment.html

  The main treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in adults is typically long-term chemotherapy (chemo). Sometimes other types of drugs, such as targeted drugs or immunotherapy, might be part of the treatment as well. […] In recent years, doctors have begun to use more intensive treatments, which has led to more leukemias going into remission. But this is also more likely to cause side effects, such as low white blood cell counts. People may need to get other drugs to help prevent or treat these side effects. […] Treatment of ALL typically takes place in 3 phases: Induction (remission induction), Consolidation (intensification), Maintenance. […] This first month of treatment is intensive and requires frequent visits to the doctor. You may spend some or much of this time in the hospital, because serious infections or other complications can occur. It’s very important to take all medicines as prescribed.

  https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/acute-lymphoblastic-leukemia

  Treatment of ALL is usually urgent and needs to begin within days, and sometimes the same day, as the diagnosis is made. The first phase of treatment, called induction chemotherapy, requires that patients remain in the hospital for approximately four weeks. […] During this phase, patients receive intensive supportive care, including transfusion of red blood cells and platelets. Antibiotics and anti-fungal medications are used to treat and prevent both bacterial and fungal infections. A medication known as G-CSF (Neupogen) can be used to help quickly reestablish a normal white blood count. […] Once blood counts have returned to normal, another bone marrow biopsy is performed to determine if the patient has entered complete remission. A complete remission is achieved when the blood and bone marrow show no evidence of persistent leukemia and blood counts have returned to normal.

• #32 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) | Conditions | UCSF Health

  https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/acute-lymphoblastic-leukemia

  Patients need to have blood tests once a month while taking chemotherapy pills. Most patients with ALL can return to work during maintenance therapy. […] ALL patients are prone to viral infections and to a pneumonia called pneumocystis during their treatment. Antibiotics, such as acyclovir and Septra or Bactrim, are given during ALL therapy to help prevent these infections. […] Stem cell transplantation, also called blood or marrow transplantation (BMT), is only performed in patients who have abnormal cytogenetics (chromosome testing) or other features of high-risk ALL. Cytogenetics is the most important factor in deciding whether a person should have a bone marrow transplant for ALL. […] At UCSF Medical Center, the preferred standard therapy is allogeneic transplantation which uses stem cells or bone marrow from a matched donor, ideally a sibling.

• #33 Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) | Conditions | UCSF Health

  https://www.ucsfhealth.org/conditions/acute-lymphoblastic-leukemia

  For patients with high-risk ALL who lack compatible donors, UCSF offers autologous transplantation, which uses cells collected from the patient’s own blood after they have achieved complete remission. […] Immunotherapy works by helping your body’s immune system fight off cancer cells. Instead of attacking the cancer directly, this treatment boosts your body’s natural defense systems. Immunotherapy may be an option for people whose leukemia has come back after other treatments, or for those who aren’t able to have a stem cell transplant.

• #34 Follow-up after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia | Canadian Cancer Society

  https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/acute-lymphoblastic-leukemia-all/treatment/follow-up

  Follow-up care for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) lets your healthcare team keep track of your health for a period of time after treatment ends. This important part of cancer care is often shared among the cancer specialists and your family doctor. They will help you recover from treatment side effects and monitor you for any signs that the cancer has come back (relapsed or recurred). […] Follow-up care may not seem that important to you, especially if your treatment was long or very hard. You may find the idea of follow-up care stressful because it reminds you of your cancer experience or because you are worried about what a test might reveal.
