A member asked:
Can i get acute lymphoblastic leukemia, without having a spleen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: There is no relation to the presence of a spleen and the development of leukemia. Leukemia can cause an enlarged spleen, but not having a spleen will not keep you from getting leukemia.
