* Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a fast  growing cancer of the white blood cells. 
* Certain changes in the DNA inside normal bone marrow cells can cause them to become leukemia cells

* chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome.
* That happens in to the chromosome 9 and 22. (Stöppler, )]]> 2017-02-06 14:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/32481/4nlandec1fny/wish/151824916 32481 https://padlet.com/32481/4nlandec1fny/wish/151825117 * The goal of treatment for leukemia is to destroy the leukemia cells.
* Induction therapy kills leukemia cells in the blood and bone marrow induce remission.
* Consolidation therapy kills any leukemia cells that may be present even thought they don't show up in test.
* Maintenance therapy also prevents any remaining leukemia cells from growing.(“Treating Childhood )]]> 2017-02-06 14:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/32481/4nlandec1fny/wish/151825117 32481 https://padlet.com/32481/4nlandec1fny/wish/151825449 * A biopsy is the only sure way for the doctor to know whether an area of the body has cancer.
* They do bone marrow aspiration.
* They stick a needle inside the bone and they look at the bone marrow underneath the microscope. 
* normal bone marrow only 2 to 3  percent.
* leukemia the number of immature cells is greater than 2 to 3%.
