“What causes blood cancers to develop in children?”

First sign of leukemia in children are fatigue, flu-like innless, no appetite, headaches, and frequent infections however is not necessarily cancer. That’s why you need to find a health care provider to do a complete medical history and laboratory. They get anemia that needs to be monitored because the red blood cells become low in number. The leukemia and or lymphoma may be at risk for then to present with fatigue, growth delay, thyroid dysfunction, hearing loss and development of secondary cancer. The red blood cells are taken, and the leukemic cells are analyzed with histochemical analysis and in the microscope. Children with leukemia may get more viral or bacterial infections than other kids. This is because their white blood cells can’t fight infection efficiently. The get anemia that needs to be monitored because the red blood cells become low in number. The leukemia and or lymphoma may be at risk for then to present with fatigue, growth delay, thyroid dysfunction, hearing loss and development of secondary cancer. Children with leukemia have up to 90% survival rate with many going on to live a happy and productive live. Most kids are cured of the disease. The most fatal type of leukemia is Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The five-year survival rate is 29.5%. Leukemia is a cancer that usually affects the white blood cells. The leukemia and or lymphoma may be at risk for then to present with fatigue, growth delay, thyroid dysfunction, hearing loss and development of secondary cancer.Thank you.

Usually environmental (chemical or low dose radiation, exposure to atomic bombs, or unknown).

Blood cancers that develop in children are likely from a genetic error that causes them

In children, there are more cells that have not developed yet. In the developing process, a cell trying to mature properly does not; these cells produce more bad cells, and a cancer develops. Strictly my opinion.
