Leukemia is both congenital and acquired, with the acquired form being the main cause.
Leukemia is a very complex disease, congenital leukemia is a minority, usually caused by mutations in the stem cells of the fetus in the mother’s body, and often develops within one year of age, with poor treatment results.
Acquired leukemia is the majority of leukemias. The cause of leukemia is not yet clear, and it can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as a large amount of radiation, exposure to toxic carcinogens, etc. The treatment is mainly chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment, and some types of leukemia require hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Whether it is congenital leukemia or acquired leukemia, there are no specific symptoms in the early stage and it is not easy to be detected, but once diagnosed, it is necessary to go to regular hospitals and receive standardized treatment from professional doctors.
