Personal history of leukaemia - what does this mean
Leukaemia is a blood cancer that occurs when the body produces too many abnormal white blood cells. it is usually caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of white blood cells, causing them to grow and divide uncontrollably. personal history of leukaemia is when a person has a family history of leukaemia, or has had leukaemia in the past. in these cases, the person is at an increased risk for developing the disease again.
What happens during the disease - personal history of leukaemia
Leukaemia is caused by an acquired genetic mutation that results in an abnormal growth of white blood cells. this mutation results in an increase in the number of immature white blood cells that are unable to properly fight infection. this leads to an increased risk of infection and other complications, such as anemia. in the case of personal history of leukaemia, the genetic mutation has been acquired from a previous exposure to radiation, chemotherapy, or other environmental factors. this mutation can be passed down to subsequent generations, increasing the risk of leukaemia in those individuals.
