The Road Ahead for CAR T-Cell Therapy in ALL Markets

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), also referred to as acute lymphocytic leukemia, is an aggressive hematologic malignancy characterized by the overproduction of immature lymphocytes. These abnormal lymphoblasts compromise the normal development of blood cells, leading to anemia, recurrent infections, and increased bleeding risks. As the disease progresses, leukemic cells may disseminate from the bone marrow to peripheral blood and infiltrate vital organs, including the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and central nervous system. Diagnosis typically includes a comprehensive approach involving blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, imaging studies, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
