Blood cancer detection starts with the sign or
symptom of blood cancer, for example, if lymph
node enlargement or infections are observed,
diagnostic tests for the blood cancer should be
immediately ordered. Its diagnosis mainly
involves lab tests of blood. An abnormal number
of cells indicates leukemia. To check the
abnormality accurately, blood samples are
examined under the microscope. Sometimes the
diagnosis also involves taking a sample of bone
marrow. The diagnosis starts with physical tests
and examining complete medical history, followed
by lab tests of blood, urine, and stool to
diagnose any kind of abnormality that can link
with cancer. If a tumor is suspected some tests
are performed to detect the tumor, like X-rays,
computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fiber-optic
endoscopy. These tests help to find out the size
and location of the tumor.

Treatments

• Stem Cell Transplantation for Leukemia
• In the process of stem cell transplantation, high
  doses of chemotherapy and radiation are used to
  kill all the cancerous cells. The stem cells help
  the bone marrow to produce new blood cells,
  sometimes these stem cells are transferred from a
  donor.
• Radiation Therapy
• To kill the cancer cells high-energy waves are
  used. The therapy can be used either to treat
  leukemia that has grown to the brain or it can
  use to target the swollen spleen or any other
  organ that has cancer.

• Targeted Therapy
• Some drugs that interrupt the particular
  functions of cancerous cells instead of killing
  those cells are used in this therapy. The therapy
  damages less normal cells than chemotherapy, as
  the therapy, stops the growth of the damaged
  cells than killing them.
• Biological Therapy
• The therapy uses living organisms to treat
  cancer. It helps the immune system to get
  stronger and recognize and kill abnormal cells.
  These therapies for various types of cancer
  include antibodies, tumor vaccines, or cytokines.
• Chemotherapy
• In this process, various kinds of drugs (blood
  cancer medicine) are injected into the body,
  either orally or through the IV routes.
