Patient's question:
A while ago, I noticed that my son's skin was a bit pale, but I didn't pay much attention. Recently, I feel his skin is getting paler, and there are often patches of white spots on his skin. Today, I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said he has had leukemia for some time. How does childhood leukemia occur?Doctor's answer:
Childhood leukemia can be triggered by viral infections, hereditary transmission across generations, exposure to chemicals such as benzene and its derivatives, or exposure to various types of radiation. It is a malignant clonal disease involving self-healing stem cells. It can lead to anemia, various skin lesions, and infections. It is essential to immediately go to the local hospital's hematology department, actively undergo chemotherapy treatment, and simultaneously perform surgery to correct anemia. Comprehensive prevention and treatment of infections and skin lesions should be implemented, and bone marrow transplantation treatment should be carried out as early as possible.
