I am not a pediatrician, but I believe the cure rate for pediatric ALL is about 90% and for AML about 65%. It depends on the subtype of leukemia, the child's age, and underlying health.
The cure rate depends on the type of leukemia, the genetic makeup and the response to therapy. It can be as high as 90% or as low as 40%.
