Overview
- The most potent risk factor in the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is advanced age. Other risk factors include male gender, positive family history, and exposure to certain chemicals.
Risk Factors
- The most potent risk factor in the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is advanced age. Other risk factors include male gender, positive family history, and exposure to certain chemicals.
- The table below lists the risk factors involved in the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia:[1][2]
| Risk Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Age | The risk to develop chronic lymphocytic leukemia increases as patients advance in age. |
| Gender | Males are more commonly affected with chronic lymphocytic leukemia than females. |
| Family history | First-degree relatives of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients have an increased risk to develop to the disease. |
| Chemical exposure | Exposure to herbicides and insecticides (used in farming) is correlated with an increased risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. |
