Yes. Benzene can cause cancer in humans who work with it. It can cause acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (acute myelocytic leukemia or AML) and might cause chronic nonlymphocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Benzene exposure also has been linked with other kinds of blood cancers and disorders such as preleukemia blood marrow disorders and aplastic anemia, Hodgkins lymphoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome.
