FAQ's

Hematologic cancer, another name for blood cancer, is a kind of cancer that starts in the body's tissues that produce blood. It mostly impacts the synthesis and operation of blood cells, such as platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells.
 

These are the most prevalent forms of blood cancer:

  • Leukaemia: White blood cells are affected by leukaemia, which comprises acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML).

  • Lymphoma: This category comprises both non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphomas and targets lymphocytes.

  • Myeloma: It mostly affects bone marrow plasma cells, which can result in multiple myeloma. 

Although the precise origin of blood cancer is frequently unknown, several variables, such as genetic mutations, exposure to specific chemicals or radiation, a family history of the disease, and certain viral infections, might raise the risk. 
 

Typical signs of blood cancer include the following:

  • Chest pain or a cough:  An accumulation of aberrant blood cells in your spleen could be the culprit.

  • Frequent infections: A potential reason could be insufficient white blood cells to combat common infections.

  • Chills or fever: Insufficient white blood cells may be the culprit, which would increase the frequency of infections.

  • Blood, bruises, or a rash that seems inexplicable: One potential reason could be a deficiency of platelets, which are the blood clotting cells.

  • Skin irritation: The causes may yet be unknown.

  • Nausea or a decrease in appetite: One potential reason could be an accumulation of aberrant red blood cells in your spleen, which puts pressure on your stomach.

  • Sweats during the night: The causes may yet be unknown.

  • Persistent weakness: Anaemia, or insufficient red blood cells, may be the cause

It might be difficult to determine whether to become concerned because many early cancer symptoms are not very precise. Do not wait, though, as an early diagnosis can result in a more efficient course of therapy. If any symptoms of blood cancer persist for more than a few weeks without getting better, you should consult your physician.
 

The following tests and methods may be used to diagnose blood cancers:

  • Blood examinations

  • Bone marrow examinations

  • Imaging examinations, such as X-rays, PET, and CT scans

  • Physical examination

  • Surgical excision of lymph nodes (for staging purposes)

Mutations or alterations in blood cell DNA result in blood cancer. It is difficult to identify particular actions someone could take to lower their risk because researchers are unsure of the exact cause of this phenomenon. However, scientists have discovered a few factors that seem to contribute to the genetic alteration:

  • Radiation exposure

  • Certain substances

  • Weakened immunity as a result of infection

  • Blood cancer in the family history

  • Inherited disorders that raise the chance of blood cancer development

  • Chemotherapy: Medicines that target and kill cancer cells.

  • Radiation therapy: Cancer cells are destroyed by high-energy beams.

  • Immunotherapy: Strengthens the body's defences against cancer.

  • Targeted therapy: Medicines that block particular molecules implicated in the development of cancer.

  • Stem cell transplant: Uses healthy stem cells to replace damaged bone marrow.

  • Surgery: Removes impacted organs or tumours.

A class of blood cancers known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are incurable and are defined by abnormal bone marrow function that results in inefficient generation of red blood cells. Although therapies like Stem Cell Transplantation and Chemotherapy can control symptoms and extend survival, MDS is a difficult condition to treat because there is presently no known cure.
 

Treatment for blood cancer frequently aims to cure the illness. However, there are an increasing number of treatments that can put some blood malignancies into remission when a cure is not possible. Remission denotes an extended absence of cancer signs and symptoms brought about by the treatment.
