Ways to Prevent Leukaemia Cancer?

• Leukaemia cancer refers to the cancer of
  blood-forming tissues of the body including the
  lymphatic system and the bone marrow. Different
  types of leukaemia exist in children and adults
  involving WBC (White Blood Cells). The main
  function of WBCs is to fight against potential
  infections while the body grows.
• It provides the body with the required stamina to
  fight harmful bacteria when it needs it. However,
  the bone marrow of people with leukaemia
  cancer produces an abnormal amount of WBCs,
  restricting them from functioning properly.
• Some of the common symptoms of leukaemia cancer
  are
• Weakness/fatigue
• Fever/chills
• Recurring nose bleeding
• Bone pain
• Bruising
• Small red patches on the skin
• Swollen or enlarged spleen
• Is it possible to treat leukaemia cancer?

• Yes, it is possible to treat leukaemia cancer.
  The treatments depend on the types and the
  severity of leukaemia cancer. However, knowing
  the cause of the cancer is a complex
  procedure as many developments are still in
  progress to find a cure to the disease.
• Until then, the only possible way to deal with
  leukaemia cancer is to reduce the chances of
  getting this disease. If you want a
  professional opinion on the treatment of
  leukaemia cancer, you can contact a leukaemia
  cancer specialist or doctor.
• How to track the symptoms early to prevent
  leukaemia cancer?
• Earlier cancer treatment
• You are more likely to get leukaemia if you have
  been exposed to chemotherapy, radiation, or other
  forms of treatment for cancer. Radiation
  and chemotherapy increase the chances of
  getting leukaemia.
• Genes
• Leukaemia doesnt necessarily have to exist in
  the family. However, chromosomal mutations are
  one of the causes of leukaemia because of gene
  inheritance in some situations. If you have
  someone in your family like a sibling, or
  parents who have been suffering from leukaemia
  cancer, you are more likely to get it.
• Family history/twin siblings
• If one of your family members had leukaemia
  cancer or was once diagnosed with leukaemia, you
  are more likely to get this disease. If you have
  a twin brother or sister who developed leukaemia
  in the early stages of life, you might inherit
  the disease.

• Avoid contact with chemicals
• Coming in contact with certain chemicals
  increases your chances of leukaemia cancer. For
  example, benzene, formaldehyde, etc. But how
  do you avoid coming in contact with these
  chemicals? By making certain smart choices. Read
  the labels of any chemicals at your home or on
  the job. If it includes harmful chemicals, use a
  mask or restrict yourself from that area.
• You can use houseplants to reduce the
  impact of benzene and formaldehyde.
  Houseplants like Gerbera daisies,
  Chrysanthemums, peace lilies, spider plants,
  English Ivy, rubber plants, and golden pothos are
  best to reduce the impact of benzene or
  formaldehyde.
• Stay healthy and fit
• The consumption of junk and unhealthy food
  causes obesity and is a major cause of
  leukaemia cancer. Taking steps to maintain a
  healthy lifestyle and weight can help you avoid
  it. You can choose a Mediterranean diet including
  fish, boiled potatoes, olive oil, fruits, and
  beans. The Mediterranean diet helps you
  maintain your weight. Apart from a diet, you must
  take all the steps to keep your body active and
  disease free.
• Avoid extreme chemical exposure
• Long exposure to industrial chemicals,
  garden chemicals, fertilisers, weed killers,
  head lice-killing shampoos, flea killers for
  pets, pesticides, etc., can also make you prone
  to this disease. For example, older adults
  working in chemical factories may suffer from
  leukaemia.
• Avoid medical treatments which can be cured
  naturally
• If you are above fifty, you are more likely to
  become ailed with leukaemia. However, leukaemia
  is common in children too. Therefore, if you are
  above 50 years or below 12 years, you must avoid
  regular CT scans and X-rays.
• With many medical advancements in the treatment,
  several diagnostic tests are becoming the cause
  of diseases like leukaemia cancer. X-rays, CT
  scans, etc., use ionised radiations to provide
  diagnostic treatments. These radiations can cause
  you to get cancer.
