Patient's question:
My child is 10 years old this year. During the physical examination, the doctor said there is a possibility of developing childhood leukemia. I would like to ask what are the causes of childhood leukemia?Doctor's answer:
So far, the exact cause of leukemia remains unclear, but according to data, pollution is the main culprit of childhood leukemia. Additionally, it is best to avoid large doses of radiation to prevent genetic mutations caused by low immunity in children, which may lead to blood diseases. Furthermore, the use of medication for infants must be cautious and scientific, and attention should also be paid to food safety. Many children enjoy colorful foods sold in small shops near schools, and the large amount of preservatives and additives in these foods may likely cause illness.
