Leukemia Cancer - Everything You Need To Know Of It

Leukemia is cancer that occurs in the blood-forming tissues which include the bone marrow as well as the lymphatic system. It usually involves the white blood cells as they are potential infection fighters. Normally, white cells grow and divide in an orderly way. But for people having leukemia, abnormal white blood are produced and these white blood cells don’t function properly. Normally, treatment for Leukemia depends on the type and other factors. 

Symptoms of Leukemia:

The symptoms vary based on the type of leukemia. However, the common signs are:

  • Persistent fatigue weakness
  • Fever or chills
  • Frequent or severe infections
  • Swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen
  • Losing weight without trying
  • Easy bruising or bleeding
  • Recurrent nosebleeds
  • Excessive sweating especially at night
  • Petechiae or tiny red spots in your skin
  • Bone pain or tenderness


If these symptoms persist, it is ideal to consult the Cancer specialist in India. Normally, people tend to overlook these symptoms and might take it for flu as well as other common illnesses. 

Causes of Leukemia:

The exact cause of leukemia is still not found out. However, it could be a combination of genetic as well as environmental factors.

Risk Factors:

The factors that increase the chances of leukemia are:

  • People who have undergone cancer treatment earlier i.e. chemotherapy or radiation therapy
  • Certain genetic syndrome like Down syndrome causes leukemia
  • Exposure to benzene which is used in some chemical industry
  • Smoking 
  • Family history

Types of Leukemia are:

  • Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) is found most commonly in children. This can also occur to adults.
  • Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) occurs both in adults and children and is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults.
  • Chronic Lympocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the most common chronic leukemia found in adults and those affected will feel quite well for several years.
  • Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) affects adults and will have few or no symptoms for months or years until it grows more rapidly.
  • Other than the above, leukemia of hairy cell leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative disorders also occur.


Treatment:

The blood cancer treatment depends on the type of leukemia you have, how healthy you are and how far it has spread. In general, the treatments offered are chemotherapy, radiation, biologic therapy, targeted therapy, stem cell transplant and surgery.
