What is this disease? How can this be prevented and prevented? Leukemia is a blood cancer.

The cells (cells) in the patient's blood change and it becomes cancerous. And as cancer cells multiply, our normal cells, such as red blood cells (platelets) and platelets, are overwhelmed.

Symptoms of leukemia are caused by the destruction of these 2 types of cells: (1) Red blood cells decrease. The patient becomes anemic and needs a blood transfusion; (2) The platelets shrink. The function of platelets is to produce blood when we are injured. When platelets are deficient, we can bleed in the nose, gums and skin.

If you have frequent bleeding or bleeding, have your blood tested: CBC with peripheral smear. With this blood test, the patient will be diagnosed with leukemia.

What causes leukemia? There are four possible sources of leukemia:

1. Genetics - It is inherited from our parents.
