==Acute promyelocytic leukemia risk factors==
*'''Advanced age'''
**This is the most common risk factor for acute leukemia.
**Elderly patients are more likely to develop [[myeloid leukemia]], due to a longer duration and opportunity for mutations to accumulate in cells.
**These mutations are more likely to accumulate in [[hematopoietic]] [[Stem cell|stem cells]] through a process called clonal evolution.<ref name="pmid25056697">{{cite journal| author=Grove CS, Vassiliou GS| title=Acute myeloid leukaemia: a paradigm for the clonal evolution of cancer? | journal=Dis Model Mech | year= 2014 | volume= 7 | issue= 8 | pages= 941-51 | pmid=25056697 | doi=10.1242/dmm.015974 | pmc=4107323 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25056697  }} </ref>
*'''Benzene'''
