The survival of the elderly with leukemia is closely related to the specific type of leukemia, as well as the physical condition of the patient, as follows: 1, the elderly are generally relatively poor organ function, tolerance to chemotherapy is also poor, so the choice of chemotherapy program is relatively small dose program, the remission rate will be lower than the standard program, once you can not remission, it is impossible to have the possibility of long-term survival, 2, if the chronic leukemia, such as chronic granulocytic leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The average survival period is 3-6 months. 2, if it is chronic leukemia, such as chronic granulocytic leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, after standardized treatment, the vast majority of elderly people will have a relatively long survival period, if it is acute leukemia, the survival period will be very short.
