With so many new advances in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), understanding today’s treatment landscape can give patients a clearer, more hopeful outlook.

In this episode, we speak with Marlise Luskin, MD of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, about what adults should know when facing a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Dr. Luskin helps listeners understand how ALL develops, how subtypes are identified, and why genetics play an important role in guiding treatment. She discusses current therapies including chemotherapy, targeted agents and immunotherapies including CAR T-cell therapy, as well as how care teams monitor progress and manage side effects. While ALL is a complex disease, patients and caregivers will hear clear explanations, practical information, and meaningful reasons to feel hopeful about the advances shaping ALL care today.
