LEUKEMIA SURVIVAL BY AGE:

CHILDHOOD CANCER LIFE EXPECTANCY

THE RISING SURVIVAL RATES

Over 80% of children in high-income countries now survive at least five years after diagnosis, a major improvement driven by advanced treatments.

HOW SURVIVAL HAS EVOLVED

Survival has increased from less than 60% in the 1960s to over 80% today, transforming many cancers from fatal to manageable.

CURRENT SURVIVAL STATISTICS

Today’s overall childhood cancer survival rate is around 85%, though outcomes vary widely depending on cancer type and stage.

LEUKEMIA SURVIVAL BY AGE

Children aged 2 to 9 respond best to treatment, while infants and teens face more challenges due to biology and treatment tolerance.

HOW LONG CHILDREN LIVE AFTER TREATMENT

Most children treated for leukemia can live long, healthy lives, especially those diagnosed early and responding well to therapy.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT SURVIVAL

Genetics, treatment response, cancer stage, age, and access to care strongly influence long-term outcomes.

THE FUTURE OF CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVAL

With precision medicine, immunotherapy, and better follow-up care, survival rates are expected to improve worldwide.
