  2. Can blood cancer be cured? • There are many different types of blood cancer, but they all start in the cells lining the inside blood vessels or in the bone marrow. Blood cancer can be difficult to cure because it is often hard to find and treat all cancer cells. When blood cancer is caught early, treatment is more likely to be successful. • The different types of blood cancer • There are four main types of blood cancer: • Leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells that starts in the bone marrow. The most common type of leukemia in adults is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Leukemia can also be acute, which means it develops quickly and worsens quickly if it's not treated. • Lymphoma is cancer that starts in the cells of the immune system. The two main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin lymphoma is more common in adults, while NHL is more common in children. • Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, a type of white blood cell. Myeloma is also called multiple myeloma because numerous tumour sites are usually involved. Myeloma is the second most common type of blood cancer in adults. • Plasma cell disorders are a group of diseases that affect the plasma cells. These are a type of white blood cell that produces antibodies. 

  3. The causes & symptoms of blood cancer • The abnormal growth of blood cells causes blood cancer. The three main types of blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood cancer can occur in any of these cell types.  •  Blood cancer is usually diagnosed through a combination of a physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. A hemato oncologist may also do a bone marrow biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.  • The treatment options for blood cancer • There are three main types of treatment for blood cancer: • Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be given as a pill, or it can be injected into a vein.  • Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells.  • A stem cell transplant is a treatment that replaces your diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow from a donor.  • The type of treatment depends on the type of blood cancer a patient has, the stage of the disease, age, and overall health. Some people with blood cancer may only need one treatment, while others may require a combination of treatments.
