Acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation is a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by a specific chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 21. This translocation results in the fusion of two genes, RUNX1 and CBFB, which leads to the production of an abnormal protein that disrupts normal cell growth and development. This type of AML is associated with a poor prognosis and is typically treated with chemotherapy and/or stem cell transplantation.

The symptoms of Acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation can vary depending on the individual, but some common symptoms include:

-Fatigue
-Fever
-Weight loss
-Shortness of breath
-Easy bruising or bleeding
-Bone or joint pain
-Enlarged lymph nodes
-Enlarged liver or spleen
-Pale skin
-Frequent infections

The exact cause of Acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some of the possible causes include exposure to radiation, certain chemicals, and certain viruses. Additionally, certain inherited genetic mutations may also increase the risk of developing this type of leukemia.

1. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the main treatment for acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. This type of chemotherapy is usually a combination of drugs that target the cancer cells and stop them from growing and dividing.

2. Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs to target specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. This type of therapy can be used to treat acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation.

3. Stem Cell Transplant: A stem cell transplant is a procedure in which healthy stem cells are transplanted into the body to replace the damaged or diseased cells. This type of treatment can be used to treat acute myeloid leukemia with t(8

1. Exposure to radiation or chemotherapy
2. Exposure to certain chemicals, such as benzene
3. Family history of leukemia
4. Certain genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome
5. Smoking
6. Being over the age of 60
7. Being male
