So far, the exact cause of leukemia has not been fully clarified, so complete prevention is not possible. However, pregnant women who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day during pregnancy have a higher incidence rate of the disease in their children. Additionally, chemical substances such as colorings, leavening agents, and preservatives used in children's food also have an impact. It is recommended to undergo regular health check-ups and take timely preventive measures against leukemia if possible.
