Description

There was no significant improvement in the treatment of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the 1ast two decades of the 20th century. However, remarkable improvements in survival have been achieved since the beginning of the 21st century, employing new treatments such as those for AYA ALL based on pediatric protocols and Ph+ ALL chemotherapies combining imatinib with other treatments. This review introduces the frontline therapies for adult ALL and discusses the current perspectives on the treatment of this malignancy.
