An Overview of the different types of blood
cancer Its Treatment
Blood cancer is a blanket term used to describe
three different types of cancers, each with its
own set of symptoms and treatments. From acute
myeloid leukemia (AML) to chronic lymphocytic
leukemia (CLL), there are several challenges
associated with diagnosing and managing these
diseases.  This article will give a
comprehensive overview of the various types of
blood cancers, their typical symptoms, and how
they are treated in order to give readers a
better understanding of what's involved when it
comes to blood cancer. We'll also review some of
the most recent advancements in blood cancer
treatment options.

• What are the different types of blood cancer?
• There are four main types of blood cancer
• Leukemia This is cancer of the white blood
  cells. The two main types are acute lymphoblastic
  leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
• Lymphoma This is cancer of the lymphocytes,
  which are a type of white blood cell. The two
  main types are Hodgkin's lymphoma and
  non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
• Myeloma This is a white blood cell cancer that
  affects the plasma cells.
• Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) This is a
  collection of diseases in which the bone marrow
  produces too few blood cells.
• Cancer treatment can vary depending on the type
  of blood cancer you have. But some common
  treatments are used for all types of blood
  cancers.
• How is blood cancer diagnosed?
• There are a few different ways that blood cancer
  can be diagnosed. A doctor may order the
  following tests if they suspect something is
  wrong with your blood cells.
• A blood test helps to show if there are too many
  or too few of a certain type of blood cell in
  your body.
•  A bone marrow biopsy may also be done in order
  to look at the cells in your bone marrow. This
  can help to confirm a diagnosis of blood cancer.
• Imaging tests, such as MRIs, X-rays, and CT
  scans, may also be ordered to gain a better
  understanding of the affected areas of the body.

• What are the treatment options for blood cancer?
• There are three main types of blood cancer
  treatments in Bangalore chemotherapy, radiation
  therapy, and stem cell transplant. 
• Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It
  is the most common type of treatment for blood
  cancer. Chemotherapy can be given intravenously
  (through a vein) or orally (by mouth).
  Chemotherapy is often administered in cycles,
  each of which lasts for a few weeks.
• Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation or
  beams to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can
  be given externally, from a machine outside the
  body, or internally, from implants placed inside
  the body near the cancer cells. 
• A stem cell transplant is a type of treatment in
  which healthy stem cells are taken from the
  patient or from a donor and given to the patient.
  These stem cells can help replace cancerous cells
  in the bone marrow and help improve blood cell
  production. A stem cell transplant is usually
  given after chemotherapy or radiation therapy has
  been used to reduce the number of cancer cells in
  the body.
