Leukemia is a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies, and remains a critical healthcare concern, affecting both pediatric and adult populations. Despite the complexity of its subtypes: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) recent scientific advancements have significantly enhanced our understanding of this disease. Innovations in molecular biology, genomics, and immunotherapy have led to increased diagnostic accuracy and the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This review discovers the evolution of leukemia diagnosis, highlighting the role of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), flow cytometry, and molecular biomarkers. Furthermore, cutting-edge treatments such as targeted therapies, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, and stem cell transplantation are reshaping patient outcomes. These advancements underscore the potential for medicine to revolutionize leukemia treatment by tailoring therapies to patient profiles. Reviewing the current landscape of leukemia research, this article aims to provide insight into the future directions for improving patient care, overcoming therapeutic resistance, and reducing treatment-related toxicity.
