Question : how can i prevent leukemia and prevent my self from getting leukemia

Answered by Dr. Hardik Sanghvi (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Genetic causes can not prevented.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There are many causes of leukemia. Most of them are genetic mutation. So you can not prevent that. What you can do is regular blood examination. Go for regular complete blood count. It will give you idea regarding early changes. No any preventive medicine or vaccine available which can prevent leukemia. Early detection and treatment is the key. So don't worry about that. Just be relaxed. Just go for regular check up.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
