  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. Symptoms can include fatigue, easy or spontaneous bruising/bleeding, and infections. […] Nursing Diagnosis includes weight loss, bruising, pain, fatigue, weakness, no appetite, fever, pale, and 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.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/acute-lymphoblastic-leukemia-all

  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), sometimes called acute lymphocytic leukemia, is the most common form of leukemia found in children, accounting for about 30 percent of all pediatric cancers. […] Treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia usually begins by addressing the signs and symptoms your child has such as anemia, bleeding, and/or infection. In addition, treatment for leukemia will include most of the following: […] Blood transfusions are used for patients who have anemia and who cannot make their own red blood cells. […] Your child will be cared for by one of the most accomplished teams of childhood cancer experts in the world. We provide medical care, emotional counseling and much more.

  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.

  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.

  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. […] 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. […] CNS treatment or prophylaxis: Treatment needs to be given either to keep the leukemia cells from spreading to the CNS (CNS prophylaxis), or to treat the leukemia if it has already spread to the CNS. This is often started during induction and continued through the other phases of treatment.

Also called post-remission therapy, this phase of treatment is aimed at destroying any remaining leukemia in the body. […] Maintenance therapy. The third phase of treatment prevents leukemia cells from regrowing. The treatments used in this stage are usually given at much lower doses over a long period of time, often years. […] Preventive treatment to the spinal cord. During each phase of therapy, people with acute lymphocytic leukemia may receive additional treatment to kill leukemia cells located in the central nervous system. In this type of treatment, chemotherapy drugs are often injected directly into the fluid that covers the spinal cord.

  Induction therapy: Induction therapy kills leukemia cells in the blood and bone marrow to induce remission. This inpatient treatment includes chemotherapy and corticosteroids, and usually lasts four weeks. […] Consolidation therapy: Also called post-remission therapy, the aim is to kill any remaining leukemia cells (even though they may not show up in tests) and prevent a recurrence of leukemia. Treatment usually includes more chemotherapy and may also include a stem cell transplant, or preventive treatment of the brain or spinal cord with radiation or chemotherapy. Consolidation can take several months but doesn’t require a stay in the hospital. […] Maintenance therapy: This prevents any remaining leukemia cells from growing and can be done using lower doses of orally administered chemotherapy with a once-a-month intravenous (IV) treatment. Maintenance may last up to three years, but during this time most people can go back to being as active as they were before treatment.

  If the leukemia goes into remission, the next phase often consists of another fairly short course of chemo, using many of the same drugs that were used for induction therapy. […] After consolidation, people generally get maintenance chemotherapy with methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). […] Maintenance usually lasts for about 2 years. CNS prophylaxis/treatment is typically continued at this time. […] At some point, it may become clear that further treatment, even in clinical trials, is extremely unlikely to cure the leukemia. At this time, the focus of treatment may shift to controlling the leukemia and its symptoms for as long as possible, rather than trying to cure it. This may be called palliative treatment or supportive care. […] It’s important that you be as comfortable as possible.
