Hi!

About 21,014 people die each year in the US from leukaemia. See the following link for more information on leukaemia death rates:

Anybody can get leukaemia, just as anybody can get cancer (leukaemia is 'blood cancer', literally meaning 'many white cells in the blood').

I hope this helps!

Smoking is one of the causes.

Here are stats from the leukemia lymphoma society in the US. You may want to google that to see if there is a similar society in the UK. The good news is that treatment for young people with Leukemia is highly effective, and more than 85% of young people are successfully treated and survive the cancer. The treatment is difficult, and can take as long as 3 years, but success rates are hight.

Every 4 minutes one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer.

An estimated 139,860 people in the United States will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2009. New cases of leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma account for 9.5 percent of the 1,479,350 new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States this year*.

Overall incidence rates per 100,000 population for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are almost identical for data reported in 2008 and 2009 [(leukemia 12.2, 2009 vs.12.3, 2008); (NHL, 19.5, each year); (Hodgkin lymphoma, 2.8, each year); (myeloma, 5.6, each year)].

Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma will cause the deaths of an estimated 53,240 people in the United States this year. These blood cancers will account for nearly 9.5 percent of the deaths from cancer in 2009 based on the 562,340 total cancer-related deaths.

Every ten minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. This statistic represents nearly 146 people each day, or more than six people every hour. Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20. In general, the likelihood of dying from most types of leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma decreased from 1996 to 2005 (the most recent data available).
