2. 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.

3. 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.

4. • Many factors increase the risk of blood cancer. Not all people with risk factors
will get blood cancer. Risk factors for blood cancer include:
• Certain types of infections
• The immune system is compromised due to diseases such as HIV/AIDS,
corticosteroids or organ transplantation
• Exposure to certain chemicals
• Exposure to radiation or certain types of chemotherapy
• Family history of blood cancer
• HIV AIDS
• Solid organ transplant recipients
• Personal medical history of certain blood disorders
• Personal medical history of certain genetic diseases (Down syndrome)
• Smokes

5. 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.
