Hematologic Cancer

Hematologic cancer refers to cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. The main types include leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These cancers disrupt the normal production and function of blood cells, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and bone marrow biopsies. Treatment options vary but may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, and stem cell transplants. Early detection and advances in treatment have improved outcomes for many patients with these types of cancer.
