Patient's question:
My dad suddenly discovered that I had leukemia, in its late stage. Usually, I looked no different from my family, and he wanted to ask how the early stages of leukemia were like.Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of two types of self-repair stem cells. Cyclophosphamide, procarbazine, busulfan, etc., all have leukemic effects. Additionally, special exposure to certain types of radiation or frequent reflective examinations can increase the incidence of leukemia. Leukemia has a certain degree of familial intergenerational genetic resistance. For example, people who suffer from benzene and its derivatives, etc., toxic and harmful substances have a lower proportion of leukemia compared to the general population. Clonal leukemia cells accumulate in large numbers in bone marrow and other self-repair tissues due to mechanisms such as uncontrolled cell division, division disorders, and inhibited apoptosis, and infiltrate other non-self-repair tissues and organs, while suppressing normal self-repair functions.
