What is blood cancer? Blood cancers are also called haematological cancers. Most of haematological cancers start in the bone marrow. Therefore blood and bone marrow cancers are often discussed together. By affecting the blood cells and the bone marrow, these cancers change how blood cells work and behave.
Blood cancers cause your bone marrow and the lymphatic system to produce blood cells that don't work properly. All the blood cancers affect different types of white blood cells in the blood, and all act differently.
When abnormal blood cells start growing out of control, they interfere with the functions of the normal blood cells, and so they become cancerous.
These are the common blood cancer symptoms.
Following are the common blood cancer causes
The treatment of blood cancer depends upon the stage of cancer, your age, your lifestyle and overall health condition. Considering all these factors, your doctor will suggest you any of the following blood cancer treatment.
Leukaemia
People with leukaemia produce a lot of white blood cells that can't fight infections. Leukaemia is classified into four types according to the type of white blood cell affected and whether it grows quickly (chronic) or slowly (acute).
Lymphoma
This is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Your lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus gland contain vessels that store and transport white blood cells to help fight infections. It has two further types.
Myeloma
Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are white blood cells that produce antibodies. Myeloma cells spread through the bone marrow, damage your bones, and crowd out healthy blood cells. These also make antibodies that cant fight off infections. As this cancer is found in multiple parts of the bone marrow, it is often called multiple myeloma.
