Toward prevention of childhood ALL by early-life immune training

Julia Hauer et al.

Summary: B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is the most common form of childhood cancer, with a failure rate of approximately 20% for chemotherapy. Leukemia typically begins during fetal hematopoiesis, with a complex interplay between genetic predispositions, exposure to infection, and abnormal cytokine release shaping the disease.
