  • The table below lists the risk factors for chronic lymphocytic leukmeia development:
Risk Factor Description
Chemical exposure Exposure to herbicides and insecticides (used in farming) are correlated with an increased risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Family history First-degree relatives of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients have an increased risk to develop to the disease.
Gender Males are more commonly affected with chronic lymphocytic leukemia than females]
Age The chance to develop chronic lymphocytic leukemia increases as patients advance in age.
Trauma A positive history of head trauma increases the risk of meningioma
