Acute leukaemia is primarily diagnosed through a bone marrow biopsy, where a sample of bone marrow is extracted and analysed to determine the type of leukaemia. Blood tests and other diagnostic procedures may also be used to support the findings and guide treatment.
Treatment for acute leukaemia often includes chemotherapy, targeted therapies and immunotherapy aimed at killing cancerous cells. Some patients may also undergo stem cell transplants or cellular therapy. Supportive care, including blood transfusions and infection management, plays a vital role in the treatment process.
There are no established methods for preventing acute leukaemia and no routine screening tests are available. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, may lower the risk of various cancers, including some types of leukaemia.
