Acute lymphocytic leukaemia
In Acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL), the lymphocytes don’t grow properly in your bone marrow. They remain immature and faulty and are called lymphoblasts. ALL is an acute type of leukaemia and gets worse very quickly without treatment. It is the most common form of leukaemia to affect children, but no one knows what causes it.
