Causes

The exact cause of AML is not always clear, but there are certain risk factors that have been associated with the development of this disease. Exposure to certain chemicals, such as benzene, and high doses of radiation have been linked to an increased risk of developing AML. Additionally, certain genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, and previous treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy for other cancers can also increase the risk of AML. It is important for individuals to be aware of these risk factors and take necessary precautions to minimize their exposure to potential carcinogens.

It is also important for individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, to help reduce the risk of developing AML.
