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.

• 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.
