    Answer:

The improvement in survival rate for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) over the past 35 years is one of the great success stories of cancer treatment. In the 1960s, less than 5 percent of children with ALL survived for more than five years. Today, about 85 percent of children with ALL live five years or more.
