Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy, characterized by rapid proliferation of immature lymphoid progenitor cells. It accounts for approximately 75% of childhood leukemias with peak incidence between ages 2-5 years. With modern chemotherapy protocols, cure rates reach 85-90% in children but remain lower in adults at 30-40%.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) affects Global incidence is approximately 1-1.5 cases per 100,000 children annually, with about 60,000 new cases worldwide each year. It is the most common childhood cancer in developed countries, representing 25-30% of all pediatric malignancies.. In the UAE, UAE reports approximately 15-20 new pediatric ALL cases annually at incidence of 3-4 per 100,000 children. Treatment outcomes are comparable to international benchmarks at specialized centers.. Gulf regional data suggests GCC countries report childhood ALL incidence of 2.5-4 per 100,000 children annually. Saudi Arabia treats approximately 80-100 new pediatric ALL cases per year with 80-85% 5-year survival..

ALL is predominantly a disease of childhood, with 75% of cases occurring before age 6. Peak incidence is at 2-5 years of age, with a male predominance (M:F ratio 1.3:1). Adult ALL represents only 20% of cases but has worse outcomes due to higher rates of adverse cytogenetics.

First-degree relatives of ALL patients have 2-4x increased risk. Monozygotic twin of ALL patient has 15-20% risk. Specific germline mutations (TP53, ATM, BRCA2) are rare but significantly increase risk.
