The word leukemia, which means white blood, is derived from the diseases namesake high white blood cell counts that most leukemia patients have before treatment.

The acute lymphocytic leukemia therapeutics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.21% from 2015 to 2020. The market was dominated by drugs such as Hyper-CVAD regimen, Linker regimen, and Nucleoside metabolic inhibitors in 2010. However, by 2020; the market is expected to be dominated by Graspa (ERYtech Pharma), an innovative form of L-Asparaginase followed by Marqibo (Talon Therapeutic Inc). Pipeline drugs and increasing acute lymphocytic leukemia population globally are major factors driving the market for new drugs. A potential limiting factor in the growth of sales for acute lymphocytic leukemia drugs will be the major drugs going off-patent during the time period being forecasted.

Some patients experience other symptoms, such as feeling sick, having fevers, chills, night sweats and other flu-like symptoms, or feeling fatigued. Some patients experience nausea or a feeling of fullness due to an enlarged liver and spleen; this can result in unintentional weight loss. Blasts affected by the disease may come together and become swollen in the liver or in the lymph nodes causing pain and leading to nausea.

If the leukemic cells invade the central nervous system, then neurological symptoms (notably headaches) can occur. All symptoms associated with leukemia can be attributed to other diseases. Consequently, leukemia is always diagnosed through medical tests.

From a regional approach, North America accounts for the largest acute lymphocytic leukemia population globally. The incidence rate and mortality rate for acute lymphocytic leukemia is showing upward trend due to the increase in the aging population in most of the developed countries. Acute lymphocytic leukemia accounts for about 20% to 25% of all childhood cancers. This type of leukemia affects children between 3 and 7 years of age.

The major players in the market include Ambit Biosciences Inc. (U.S.), ERYtech Pharma (France), Talon Therapeutic Inc. (U.S.), and Genzyme Corporation. (U.S.).
