Yes if not treated: With any type of cancer, patient may die if not treated. Sooner or latter - depend on cancer type. People die often times not because of cancer itself but complications that happen to evolve due to this primary condition. Many types of leukemia are treatable with good outcome - not only prologed but quality life. Prognosis, what to do, how to treat and when - questions for your treating doctor.
