Understanding blood cancer
Blood cancers are a group of cancers that affect blood cells, the bone marrow where many blood cells are made, or the lymphatic system. They may affect how the body produces healthy blood cells and how the immune system works.
Leukaemia
Affects blood-forming tissues, including bone marrow and lymphatic cells.
Lymphoma
Begins in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune network.
Myeloma
Involves plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that supports immunity.
Every person’s situation is different. A specialist consultation can help make medical information clearer and guide the next appropriate step.
