Blood cancer, also known as hematologic cancer, occurs due to the abnormal increase in the size of the blood cells. This abnormality begins from the blood cells that produce in the bone marrow and further hinders the normal functioning of blood cells.
Thus, it is typically associated with the defective production of blood cells and/or blood component dysfunction in the lymphatic system and bone marrow. Blood cancer can impact any organ of your body.
Blood cancer can be divided into multiple kinds depending on the affected tissues or cell origin.
Acute leukaemia: Acute leukaemia originates in the bone marrow and produces aberrant white blood cells. This further interferes with the ability of bone marrow to create normal red blood cells. Acute leukaemia can be divided into two types – acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Both of these blood cancers are aggressive that can quickly become deadly if left untreated.
The diagnosis part depends on bone marrow tests, including flow cytometry, molecular testing and microscopic examination.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: This kind of blood cancer develops in the lymphatic system and interferes with the normal functioning of the body to provide immunity against infections. Lymphoma can occur in any organ of the body, from the brain to even the skin. However, it usually affects the lymph nodes.
Lymphomas comprise a large group of blood cancers, among which some grow slow while others are very aggressively fatal. To diagnose lymphomas, doctors recommend undergoing a lymph nodes biopsy or the affected organ biopsy. Based on the biopsy report, the therapy for lymphoma blood cancer is decided.
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia has a close association with lymphoma. This is actually slower lymphoma that mainly affects the blood and bone marrow and sometimes impacts the liver, lymph nodes, spleen and several other organs. Its diagnosis relies on the flow cytometry of blood samples and lymph node biopsy.
Myeloma or Multiple Myeloma: Myeloma or multiple myeloma are actually the same kind of blood cancers that emerge from plasma cells. Plasma cells are an extremely important component of the immune system present in the bone marrow of the body. This kind of cancer is dangerous as it can cause broader damage to the body, including infection, anaemia, bone weakness or cracks and kidney dysfunction. The doctor advises undergoing bone marrow tests or a biopsy along with several other blood tests to diagnose this blood cancer.
The major objective of different treatments of blood cancer is to eliminate the disease completely. There are best of best therapies for blood cancer that Dania Medical Services can provide you to fight against the disease. Here are a few of them.
Biological Therapy: Biological therapy is one of the common treatments to kill cancers.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a type of drug treatment for cancer that uses one or more powerful anti-cancer drugs to kill the rapid growth of aberrant cells in the body.
Surgery: Bone marrow transplantation is a typical surgery that transplants the injured or destroyed bone marrow with the healthy version of the bone marrow stem cells.

However, after treatment, the patients need to follow a healthy lifestyle and follow the instructions of the doctors regularly.
