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.
Risk Factors
- Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukmeia which 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.[1] |
Gender | Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females.[2][3] |
Age | The chance to develop hairy cell leukemia increases as patients get older, where it is rarely diagnosed in patients younger than 30 years of age.[2][4] |
