Q

factors important in pathogenesis of leukemia

A
  • ionizing radiation
  • chemical exposure
  • drugs (ie, alkylators in AML)
  • genetics (20% risk of identical twin developing leukemia if other twin develops before 5 yrs of age, sibs have 4x increased risk)
  • chromosomal abnormalities (ie T21)
