The estimated overall incidence of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma in Europe is 1.28 per 100 000 individuals annually, with significant age-related variations (0.53 at 45–54 years,∼ 1.0 at 55–74 years and 1.45 at 75–99 years) and that of Burkitt leukaemia/lymphoma is between 0.17 and 0.33 in the same age groups [1]. These figures qualify ALL as a rare disease in adults, making assessment and care at qualified centres highly desirable. Predisposing risk factors for adult ALL are not known, contrary to childhood ALL [2]. Therapeutic progress is undeniable as shown by large registry data. In Europe, 5-year overall survival (OS) improved from 29.8% in the years 1997–1999 to 41.1% in 2006–2008 (P< 0.0001), still as a function of age. Compared with the reference group (age 15–54 years: OS> 50%), OS was< 30% in the 55–64 years age group (hazard ratio 2.05) and< 20% in the≥ 65 years age group (hazard ratios 2.71 and 3.75)[3].
