Leukemias are a group of life threatening malignant disorders of the blood and bone marrow. In the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population, the acute leukemias are most prevalent, with chronic myeloid leukemia being infrequently seen. Factors associated with more aggressive disease biology tend to increase in frequency with increasing age, whilst tolerability of treatment strategies decreases. There are also challenges regarding the effective delivery of therapy specific to the AYA group, consequences on the unique psychosocial needs of this age group, including compliance. This chapter reviews the current status of epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment strategies and outcomes of AYA leukemia, with a focus on acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia.
期刊介绍：
The scientific book series ''Progress in Tumor Research'' aims to provide in depth information about important developments in cancer research. The individual volumes are authored and edited by experts to provide detailed coverage of topics selected as either representing controversial issues or belonging to areas where the speed of developments necessitates the kind of assistance offered by integrative, critical reviews.
