Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, leukemia s are hereditary in nature. And chances are high if family members are died due to leukemia. So better to get done regular annual check up with tumor markers like AFP, Chat Doctor, LDH, ALP levels etc. Cancers other than leukemia, which can be hereditary are1. Prostate2. Breast3. Lung4. Colon etc. So better to get done annual body check up for early detection of cancer.
