@Matt620 true, but not always... During med school, I had my pediatric practice on Pediatric Oncology Ward, and I learned that the only thing sure in pediatric oncology is that there is nothing for sure... The ward chief told us about the case of a boy and the girl with the same kind of acute lymphoma. One of them seemed strong, and the other seemed weak. Surprisingly, the "weak" one survived, and the "strong" one died.

However, disadvantageous factors in ALL are:
 * male sex (determinant)
 * age 10 years (confirmed)
 * high leukocytosis at the moment of diagnosis (I have no information about this, I'm not a VIP player)
 * lack of betterment after 28 days of chemotherapy (again, the same reason)
 * some genetic mutations, e.g. Chromosome Philadelphia (again, the same reason)
