Preventions against Leukaemia
Cancer
Leukaemia is the cancer of blood-forming tissues in the body, causing an abnormal growth in blood
cells. It also affects the lymphatic system and bone marrow.. It starts when the DNA of a single cell
in the bone marrow starts mutating and can not develop or function normally. Different
types of leukaemia cancer exist in adults and children.
The treatment for leukaemia depends on what type you have, your age, and overall health. There is
no cure for leukaemia yet, but we can change our lifestyle to prevent getting this disease.
How Does Leukaemia Affect Your Body?
Too many leukaemia cells and very few normal cells can harm our body. Leukaemia cells can not
keep you healthy. There is little space for normal blood cells to mature and multiply in your bone
marrow. Fewer blood cells, healthy white blood cells, and platelets are made and released in your
blood, which results in less oxygen for your body's tissues and organs to work correctly. Also, your
body could not fight infections or blood clots when needed.
What Are The Risk Factors For Leukaemia?
If you're worried that you might have leukaemia because of the symptoms, make an appointment
with Dr. Manish Sehgal. His team ensures that you get the best treatment. The following are some
factors that can cause leukaemia:
 Regular exposure to harmful compounds such as benzene
 Smoking
 A genetic condition such as down syndrome
 Obesity
 The congenital anomaly of the Philadelphia chromosome
 If leukaemia runs in the family
 Immune system disorders
 The human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus-1 infection
 Different types of blood conditions such as haemophilia
 Age, as it is more common in children and adults over the age of 50
 it is more prevalent in men than women
Symptoms Of Leukaemia

of leukaemia cancer. However, knowing the cause of cancer can be a complex procedure as
there are developments still in progress to find a cure to the disease.

The Role Of Chemotherapy, Radiation And Immunosuppressants
Unfortunately, the risk factors for developing leukaemia include cancer treatment
with chemotherapy, radiation and immune-suppressing drugs that are given to the
transplant patients. It is not common for transplant patients to have leukaemia, but it
is also a risk factor. Medical Research is being done to see if there are ways to treat
cancer and care for organ transplant patients without increasing the risk for leukaemia
currency the benefits of chemotherapy, radiation and other immunosuppressants and
drugs out with the slight risk of leukaemia
How To Prevent Leukaemia?
India ranks 3rd for people who have leukaemia. Several risk factors may increase your chance of
developing the disease, such as smoking, exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, having a family
history of leukaemia, etc.
There is no surefire strategy to avoid leukaemia. The cause of leukaemia in adults and children is still
unknown. Some risk factors are well-known, yet many are beyond your control.
However, you can reduce the risk of leukaemia by making minor changes in your lifestyle. Following
are the most effective ways known to reduce the risk.
Eat a healthy diet
It is observed that the risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia among those who consume high-fat
dairy products, processed meats, refined grains, sweets, convenience foods, and high-calorie
beverages is higher than people who consume low-fat dairy products, fruits and vegetables, whole
grains, and juice. Fish, beans (legumes), boiled potatoes, olives, fruits. It is, therefore, highly
recommended to focus on the latter and also exercise regularly.
Minimise Sucralose
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener that is a sugar substitute. There are many sweetener alternatives,
such as jaggery powder, stevia, etc. even though it is considered safe, some studies have
raised concerns about its potential effects on health.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking is a critical risk factor for the development of AML, accounting for more than 20% of these
tumours. Furthermore, parental smoking during pregnancy and passive smoking exposure appears
to increase the child's chances of leukaemia. Tobacco smoke has benzene and formaldehyde, among
other harmful substances.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Obesity or being overweight has been linked to an increased risk of Acute Myeloid
Leukaemia. However, a review published in 2011 examined all of the significant forms of
leukaemia. Obese people(BMI 30 or higher) but not overweight (BMI 25 to 29) have 17
percent higher chances of adult-onset leukemia than those of average weight.
