Leukemia usually treated with chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. The best person to ask is her pediatric oncologist. He or she should be able to answer your questions depending on what type of leukemia.Acute leukemia in the young has verY high cure rate > 90 % since early 1070
The best treatment is chemotherapy or other systematic therapy. He should see a pediatric medical oncologist. I would recommend St. Jude Children's hospital.
