About prognosis:

The 'prognosis' of Leukemia usually refers to the likely outcome of Leukemia. The prognosis of Leukemia may include the duration of Leukemia, chances of complications of Leukemia, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Leukemia, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Leukemia. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.
