Patient's question:
It's my friend's child, who was recently born and they specifically went to the hospital to check on him. He has now gone home, but there's been some particularly bad news. After a thorough examination, it was discovered that he has leukemia. What could be the reasons for this baby getting leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is generally not very common in terms of incidence, but it is particularly prevalent in children due to various factors. Firstly, it may be hereditary, with a history of leukemia passed down through generations in the family. Additionally, it could be related to carelessness during pregnancy, where the body is exposed to numerous infections, which then affect the fetus. As a result, the newborn may develop leukemia, and the subsequent environmental changes in the fetus can also interfere with the occurrence of leukemia.
