3. What is Blood Cancer?
Blood cancer is a type of cancer that affects your
blood cells. Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma
are some of the most common types of blood
cancer. There are also types called MPNs and
MDS. Blood cancer is caused by changes
(mutations) in the DNA within blood cells.

4. Blood Cancer Diagnosis?
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.

6. Treatments:
Stem Cell Transplantation for Leukemia:
Radiation Therapy:
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.
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.

7. Targeted Therapy:
Biological Therapy:
Chemotherapy:
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.
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.
In this process, various kinds of drugs (blood cancer medicine) are injected
into the body, either orally or through the IV routes.
