Abstract:
Early T-cell precursor-ALL (ETP-ALL) is a subtype of T-ALL with a poor prognosis in children. We analyzed ETP-ALL compared to conventional T-ALL/LBL in both adults and children to determine any differences in clinical outcomes, based on the following parameters: induction failure, relapse, and survival. Patients with ETP-ALL have a higher risk of relapse, especially in children (in all patients, HR=4.08, p=0.127, and children, HR=11.63, p=0.025). ETP-ALL seems to have an increased risk of adverse outcomes, particularly in children. Larger studies are needed to better determine the prognosis of this subtype of T-ALL.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
