What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Chemotherapy for ALL is divided into several phases:
Induction therapy phase: Reduce the disease to complete remission (i.e., eradicating the leukemic blast population).
CNS prophylactic phase: Prevent CNS leukemia in young children. The two potential modes of treatment in the CNS prophylactic phase are cranium irradiation and/or intrathecal chemotherapy.
Maintenance chemotherapy (cytoreductive therapy or remission consolidation therapy): Eradicate any remaining leukemic cells.
