The main triggers of leukemia include gene mutation, viral infection, immune abnormality, and bad life habits.
1. Gene mutation: some gene mutations in hematopoietic cells caused by various reasons activate certain signaling pathways, leading to clonal abnormal hematopoietic cell proliferation, apoptosis is blocked, and leukemia is formed.
2. Viral infection, abnormal immune function or exposure to toxic substances, bad life habits, etc. can also induce the occurrence of leukemia. For example, human T-lymphotropic virus infection, autoimmune disease, long-term acceptance of radiation, long-term exposure to benzene, formaldehyde, anti-tumor chemotherapeutic drugs, smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction and so on.
In daily life, you should keep a relaxed mood, regular work and rest, avoiding exertion and staying up late, eating healthy and avoiding bad habits can prevent leukemia to a certain extent. For specific knowledge, please consult a hematologist.
