The cause of leukemia is still unknown. Hematopoietic cells may become malignant due to radiation, ionizing radiation, viruses, chemical substances (including poisons and drugs), and possible genetic or immune defects in the individual. The malignant cells have defects in differentiation and maturation, but still retain the ability to divide and proliferate. Therefore, these malignant cells (leukemia cells) can continue to proliferate and accumulate in the body, spreading from the hematopoietic tissue to the blood and various organs throughout the body, resulting in related clinical manifestations of leukemia.
