How long can a person generally live with leukemia?

The survival time of leukemia patients varies depending on multiple factors, including the patient's own condition (such as age, mental state, and physical fitness), the type of leukemia (acute or chronic), and the treatment plan. Generally speaking, without specific treatment, the average survival time for patients with acute leukemia may be only about three months, whereas chronic leukemia has a relatively longer disease course, potentially lasting several decades. However, with advancements in modern medicine, many leukemia patients can significantly extend their survival time—and even achieve long-term survival or clinical cure—through active treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It should be noted that each patient's specific situation is different, so it is impossible to provide a uniform prediction of survival time. Patients should work with their doctors to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on their individual circumstances and actively cooperate with treatment to achieve the best therapeutic outcomes.
