Survival rates for leukemia depend heavily on age at diagnosis, overall health, and whether appropriate treatment is received as well as on the specific type of leukemia. When appropriately treated, acute lymphoblastic leukemia has a five-year survival rate of about 71 percent, acute myeloid leukemia has a five-year survival rate of about 31 percent, chronic lymphocytic leukemia has a five-year survival rate of about 88 percent, and chronic myeloid leukemia has a five-year survival rate of about 70 percent.
