My wife has been experiencing headaches, nausea, and discomfort this year. We took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed her with leukemia. We were shocked, thinking it was just a normal headache. Now, we are particularly eager to know what caused the leukemia.Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. The main symptoms include fever, anemia, or bone and joint pain. The main causes of the disease are hereditary factors, chemical substances, viral infections, etc. Once diagnosed, it is essential to receive timely treatment to seize the opportunity for a cure.
