hematological cancers

Hematological cancers, also known as blood cancers, originate in the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system. They involve abnormal growth of blood cells, which can interfere with normal immune function and blood production. Common types include leukemia (cancer of white blood cells), lymphoma (cancer of lymph nodes), and multiple myeloma (cancer of plasma cells). These cancers may cause symptoms like fatigue, infections, unexplained weight loss, or swelling. Treatment options vary and may include chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or stem cell transplants. Early detection and medical management are essential for improving outcomes.
