The Types Of Blood Cancers In Malignant Hematology


Blood cancer can be deadly and will affect your blood creating problems in the production and functioning of your blood. The red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are produced in the stem cells of bone marrow and are matured too. This normal blood cell development is disturbed by the growth of the abnormal blood cell type. These cancerous cells take over the good cells and create problems in the functioning of the body as the body fails to fight off this infection.

Lymphoma







This type of cancer is diagnosed by a blood specialist doctor and affects the lymphatic system; a system that removes access fluid and produces immune cells. Normal lymphocytes fight infections and abnormal lymphocytes become lymphoma and get collected in lymph nodes and tissues which are later removed by surgery.

Leukemia

This is caused by the fast growth of white blood cells which are present in blood and are made in the bone marrow. When the number of white blood cells increases then the body loses the ability to fight off any infection and the production of red blood cells and platelets is also decreased. The blood specialist doctor is able to determine the severity.

Myeloma

Plasma cells are infection-fighting white blood cells and act as antibodies. Myeloma is the cancer of plasma and in this, the myeloma cells disturb the production of antibodies leaving your body exposed to infections and diseases weakening it.
