So far, the specific mechanism that causes leukemia cannot be completely clarified, and it may be related to many factors such as gene mutation, environmental factors, physical and chemical factors, and so on.
Leukemia is a malignant disease of the blood system, and gene mutation may be one of the important factors leading to the development of leukemia. This is because some of the patients who are clearly diagnosed with leukemia have chromosomal mutations or fusion gene expression, such as t(8;21) and FLT3-ITD expression.
Harsh environmental factors, such as water and air pollution, may also contribute to the increased incidence of leukemia. Physicochemical factors include heavy radiation exposure, living in environments with significantly excessive benzene levels for long periods of time, and long-term exposure to harmful chemicals such as phenol.
The above factors increase the incidence of leukemia as much as possible and need to be actively avoided. If you are unable to avoid these harmful factors due to your work, you need to do a good job of protection and have regular medical checkups, and if you find any abnormality in your medical checkups, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner.
