It's caused when the bone marrow produces too many immature white blood cells, called lymphoblasts, which crowd out healthy cells. There is a high cure rate; according to Life Extension, 80 percent of cases are cured. However, even though there is a high cure rate, there are still other treatments that are needed for the 20 percent of children who don't respond to conventional treatment.

Listen in as Dr. Mike discusses the results of the study and how a compound in broccoli could help fight leukemia.
