Introduction to Blood Cancer
Blood cancer is a group of malignancies that
impact the production and function of blood
cells. The three primary types of blood cancer
are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Each of
these has subtypes, making blood cancer a diverse
and intricate disease.

Types of Blood Cancer
Leukemia Leukemia affects the blood and bone
marrow, causing an overproduction of white blood
cells. Acute and chronic leukemia are the two
main forms. Lymphoma Lymphoma targets the
lymphatic system and typically appears in the
lymph nodes and tissues. Hodgkin's and
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are the primary
categories. Myeloma Myeloma affects plasma
cells in the bone marrow, leading to the
overproduction of abnormal antibodies.

How is blood cancer treated?
Goals of cancer treatment
The goal of hematological cancer treatment is to
permanently cure the cancer or completely relieve
the Disease. Remission means that there are no
more signs of disease in the body, although there
may be recurrence or recurrence in the
future. Some blood cancers grow slowly enough,
so you can choose to delay treatment. If you
decide to delay treatment, you need to follow up
closely, that is, wait for observation, so that
you can determine the obvious progress and start
treatment when needed.
