It's hard to say...research is still being done.there is no definite pattern.probably best to consoul a doctor
No, leukemia is not hereditary. I've been reading alot about leukemia, because I probably have it. We haven't yet seen a doctor, but we're going to next week. I've been a bit concerned about this myself, because I have plans to have a big family. I want to have 8 children, and if leukemia is something that can be passed on to children from their parents, and I do have it, then I was going to decide not to have children. I would just adopt.
But, NO, leukemia is not hereditary, like many other cancers.
The majority of childhood leukemics are acquired by genetic diseases. This means that gene mutations and chromosome abnormalities in cells occur sporadically (by chance) and are not inherited from a parent.
The immune system plays an important role in protecting the body from diseases, and possibly cancer. An alteration or defect in the immune system may increase the risk for developing leukemia. Factors such as exposure to certain viruses, environmental factors, chemical exposures, and various infections have been associated with damage to the immune system.
With the exception of specific genetic syndromes, little is known about the causes of childhood leukemia.
Leukemia is a cancer that is hereditary. Even though it is hereditary, that doesn't mean that you will develop leukemia.
Leukemia is noncommunicable. There may be genetic predisposition for leukemia. But our knowledge about the genes is very preliminary.
yes
It can be. it can be hereditary. Like passed down from generation to generation.
I know that cancers aren't contagious and what not, but I've recently read up on things that (can??? can it or does it?) cause leukemia. For example, the human t cell leukemia virus. It says that can associate with leukemia, and that virus can be spread through sexual contact. So if that's the cause of it, then wouldn't that imply that I, if involved with that, could get that virus and potentially leukemia or forms of it? Or is there something im like misreading, or misunderstanding. It's all kind of confusing. So i mean, is there like a "natural" form of leukemia that's caused by unfortunate circumstances (like breast cancer) as well as leukemia that's derived from a virus which is "contagious" in the sense that it can be transmitted?
How do u get meningitis from leukemia
Acute Myloid Leukemia
LEUKEMIA IS NOT EXTINCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many people have leukemia and many are also getting the disease!
Yes, it actually does. Ive been anemic for years and always get both nose bleeds and headaches
Leukemia is not an infection. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood formation. Leukemia can, however, make you more likely to get infections.
Yes, the most curable form of leukemia is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It also happens to be the most common form of leukemia in children.
How to prevent the ailment of leukemia
There is no known microbe that causes Leukemia.
use the word leukemia in a sentence
Leukemia is a condition, not an object
