Treatment of ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) in Germany

Modern therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia: from molecular diagnostics to personalized treatment

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive malignant disease of the hematopoietic system, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of immature lymphoblasts. In Germany, modern chemotherapy protocols, targeted drugs and bone marrow transplantation are used, which allows achieving complete remission in 90% of children and 80% of adult patients

Symptoms of ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia)

Main symptoms:

  • Anemic syndrome: weakness, pallor, dizziness
  • Hemorrhagic syndrome: bleeding gums, nosebleeds
  • Infectious complications: frequent pneumonia, stomatitis
  • Lymphoproliferative syndrome: enlarged lymph nodes, liver, spleen
  • Osteoarticular pain (especially in children)

Laboratory signs:

  • Blast cells in peripheral blood (>20%)
  • Thrombocytopenia, anemia
  • Leukocytosis or leukopenia

Diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia at RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum

  • Sternal puncture with cytochemical examination
  • Immunophenotyping (determination of CD19, CD22, CD79a)
  • Cytogenetic analysis (t(9;22), t(12;21), t(4;11))
  • Molecular genetic tests (BCR-ABL1, MLL gene)
  • Lumbar puncture (assessment of neuroleukemia)
  • CT/MRI for suspected extramedullary lesions

Each direction is supervised by advanced oncologists.
