An estimated 35,070 new cases of leukemia will be diagnosed in the United States in 2006. Acute leukemias account for nearly 9 percent more of the cases than chronic leukemias. Most cases occur in older adults; more than half of all cases occur after age 64. Leukemia is expected to strike 9 times as many adults as children in 2006. (About 31,628 adults compared with 3,442 children, ages 0-19). About 32 percent of cancers in children ages 0-14 years are leukemia. The most common form of leukemia among children under 19 years of age is Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).
The most common types of leukemia in adults are acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), with an estimated 11,930 new cases this year, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with some 10,020 new cases this year. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is estimated to affect about 4,500 persons this year. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) will account for about 3,930 cases this year. Other unclassified forms of leukemia account for the 4,690 remaining cases.
