Overview

Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukmeia such as certain chemicals exposure, radiation exposure, and sawdust exposure.

Risk Factors

  • Studies have proposed a number of risk factors for the development of hairy cell leukmeia which include:
Risk Factor Description
Chemicals exposure Exposure to either herbicides or diesel may be correlated with an increased risk of hairy cell leukemia.[1]
Radiation exposure

Excessive X ray imaging or prior radiotherapy may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia.[1]

Sawdust exposure Occupations that involve exposure to sawdust and wood may be associated with increased risk of hairy cell leukemia development.[1]
Ethnicity Hairy cell leukemia usually more commonly affects individuals of the Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.[1]
Gender Males are more commonly affected with multiple myeloma than females.[2][3]
Age The chance to develop hairy cell leukemia increases as patients get older, where it is rarely diagnosed in patients younger than 30 years of age.[2][4]
