Overview

Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukmeia such as certain chemicals exposure, radiation exposure, and sawdust exposure.[1]

Risk Factors

  • Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukmeia include:
Risk Factor Description
Chemicals exposure Exposure to either herbicides or diesel may be correlated with an increased risk of hairy cell leukemia.

[1]

Radiation exposure

Excessive X ray imaging or prior radiotherapy may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia.[1]

Sawdust exposure Occupations that involve exposure to sawdust and wood may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia development.[1]
Ethnicity Hairy cell leukemia usually more commonly affects individuals of the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry males relative to other ethnic groups.[1]
Gender Hairy cell leukemia usually more commonly affects individuals of the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry males relative to other ethnic groups.males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 4 to 1.[2][3]
Age The chance to develop hairy cell leukemia increases as patients get older, where where it is rarely diagnosed in patients younger than 30 years of age.[2][4]
