Patient's question:
Son is 8 years old and was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia last month. The whole family is very suffering. How did acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children come about? What are the preventive measures?Doctor's answer:
Leukemia is caused by the recurrence of problems in the human body's self-healing function. Approximately 5% of ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) is related to intergenerational genetic factors. In particular, the incidence of leukemia has increased among many individuals with intergenerational genetic resistance.2. Environmental Impact Ionizing radiation, as one of the causes of human leukemia, has been identified, but its mechanism has not been particularly clarified. The incidence of ALL has significantly increased among populations exposed to nuclear radiation. Chemical substances such as benzene and its derivatives, as well as alkylating agents, are believed to be closely related to human leukemia.
3. Genetic Changes All ALL cells undergo acquired genetic changes, including alterations in chromosome number and structure, such as translocations, inversions, deletions, point mutations, and duplications.
