Overview
Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukemia 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 leukemia which include:
| Risk Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Chemicals exposure | Exposure to either herbicides or diesel may be correlated with an increased risk of hairy cell leukemia. |
| Radiation exposure |
Excessive X ray imaging or prior radiotherapy may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia. |
| Sawdust exposure | Occupations that involve exposure to sawdust and wood may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia development. |
| Ethnicity | Hairy cell leukemia usually more commonly affects individuals of the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. |
| Gender | Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females. |
| 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. |
