The causes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia include viruses, radiation, chemical poisons, drugs and genetic mutations.
There is no exact cause for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is generally believed to be related to viruses, radiation, chemical poisons, drugs and abnormal genetic background.
1. Virus: the virus that causes tumor can be caused by inducing chromosome mutation in human body, thus changing the normal function of genes.
2. Radiation factors: Ionizing radiation can cause acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is generally related to the size of radiation dose, radiation site and age.
3. Chemical factors: some chemical substances such as benzene may cause.
4. Drugs: Etoposide, Teniposide, Doxorubicin, Zorubicin, Mitoxantrone, etc. may cause.
5. Genetic abnormalities: some patients may have gene mutations associated with leukemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is diagnosed by the doctor according to the specific condition and auxiliary examination, and actively treated.
