It is a fast-growing cancer of a type of white blood cell called lymphoblasts.
ALL occurs when the bone marrow produces a large number of immature lymphoblasts. The bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of the bones that helps form all the blood cells. Abnormal lymphoblasts grow rapidly and replace normal cells in the bone marrow. ALL prevents blood cells from occurring. Life-threatening symptoms can occur as normal blood counts fall.
