How long can a person live with leukemia?

The survival time of leukemia patients varies depending on multiple factors, including individual differences, disease severity, and treatment methods. Generally, for patients with untreated acute leukemia, the average survival time may be only about 3 months. For patients with untreated chronic leukemia, the disease progresses more slowly, and the average survival time may be around 5 years. If leukemia is detected early and treated aggressively, the patient's survival time can be significantly prolonged, even beyond 10 years. Some patients who receive effective treatment may survive for a long time and even achieve clinical remission. Therefore, the survival time of leukemia patients is not fixed but depends on various factors. Patients should actively cooperate with their physicians' treatment plans to improve their quality of life.
