Cancer begins in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, or in the cells of the immune system.
Blood cancer happens when something goes wrong with your blood cells. This stops them from working properly, and they may grow out of control.
Leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma are some of the most common types of blood cancer.

5. Leukemia is a cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues,
including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system.
Many types of leukemia exist. Some forms of leukemia are
more common in children. Other forms of leukemia occur
mostly in adults.
Leukemia usually involves white blood cells. Your white blood
cells are potent infection fighters — they normally grow and
divide in an orderly way, as your body needs them. But in
people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces an
excessive amount of abnormal white blood cells, which don't
function properly.

6. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in your
lymphatic system, part of the body's germ-fighting immune
system. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, white blood cells called
lymphocytes grow abnormally and can form growths (tumors)
throughout the body.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a general category of lymphoma.
Many subtypes fall into this category. Diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are among the most
common subtypes. The other general category of lymphoma is
Hodgkin's lymphoma.

7. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the
lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting
immune system. In Hodgkin's lymphoma, white blood cells
called lymphocytes grow out of control, causing swollen lymph
nodes and growth throughout the body.
Hodgkin's lymphoma, which used to be called Hodgkin's
disease, is one of two general categories of lymphoma. The
other is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

8. Multiple myeloma is a cancer that forms in a type of white blood
cell called a plasma cell. Healthy plasma cells help you fight
infections by making antibodies that recognize and attack
germs.
In multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells accumulate in the
bone marrow and crowd out healthy blood cells. Rather than
produce helpful antibodies, the cancer cells produce abnormal
proteins that can cause complications.
