Leukemia Information Center
Each year in the United States, more than 44,000 people are diagnosed with leukemia. Thanks to improvements in treatment, leukemia patients are living longer. It is estimated that there are more than 220,000 leukemia survivors living in the U.S. today.
Advances in chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplantation have all contributed to improved leukemia survival. In addition, advances in supportive care have made leukemia treatment more tolerable, leading to improved quality of life.
Understanding leukemia treatment options, the role of different doctors specializing in the treatment of leukemia, and how and when to access new and innovative leukemia treatment options available through clinical trials is essential in order to achieve the best outcome from leukemia treatment.
The Cancer Consultants Leukemia Information Center has been designed to help patients understand leukemia and leukemia treatment options while providing ongoing information, inspiration, support, and community to individuals affected by a diagnosis of leukemia
