Getting diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL)

You usually start by seeing your GP if you have symptoms. Find out what happens and how to get the most out of your appointment.

Your GP should arrange for a blood test or for you to see a blood specialist (haematologist) if you are having symptoms of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

There is no national screening programme for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Find out why.

Your doctor may suspect ALL from a blood test. You then have more tests such as a bone marrow and scans to diagnose and find out more about ALL.
