No known way to prevent AML.
However, several factors increase the risk of an adult to develop AML. These include:
Exposure to certain chemicals such as benzene
Prior treatment of cancer, including childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Exposure to high doses of radiation (such as a nuclear reactor accident)
A history of certain blood disorders, including myelodysplastic syndromes
Certain genetic diseases such as Down syndrome and Fanconi anemia
Smoke
Most people with AML do not have a known risk factor.
