Of all blood cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are the three most common types affecting the Indian population.<\/p>\n<p>Blood <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2022\/08\/31\/62471\/\"><strong>cancer<\/strong><\/a> endangers our blood cells, which give us energy, help fight infections, and prevents excessive bleeding. Blood cancer affects how your body produces cells and how well it functions. Most blood cancers start in the bone marrow. This is where stem cells form, mature, and become red blood cells, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets.<\/p>\n<p>When DNA changes or mutates, it gives new instructions to your cells, because of which your body develops abnormal blood cells that grow and multiply faster than the normal ones. Due to this, normal blood cells are caught amidst abnormal cells, which monopolize space in the bone marrow. With time, the bone marrow produces fewer normal cells, which also impacts their essential task of fighting infection, carrying oxygen throughout the body, and controlling bleeding.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-are-the-different-types-of-blood-cancer?\">Types of blood cancer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here are the different types of blood <strong>cancer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Leukemia &#8211;<\/strong> Leukemia affects the white blood cells. Abnormal rapid production of WBCs impairs the body\u2019s ability to fight against infection and the bone marrow\u2019s ability to produce red blood cells and platelets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lymphoma &#8211;<\/strong> Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that fight against infections. The abnormal lymphocytes become lymphoma cells which multiply and get collected in the tissue. There are two types of lymphoma &#8211; Hodgkin\u2019s and non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma. Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma affects the B-cells and primarily occurs in adolescence or the elderly. Non-Hodgkin\u2019s impacts the B-cells and T-cells (these are white blood cells of the immune system responsible for adaptive immune response in an organism).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myeloma &#8211;<\/strong> Myeloma is the cancer of the plasma cells, which prevents the function and production of antibodies, thereby leaving a weak immune system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong id=\"Symptoms-of-blood-cancer\">Symptoms of blood cancer <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some symptoms of blood <strong>cancer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unexplained weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Unexplained bruising and bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Lumps or swelling<\/li>\n<li>Drenching night sweats<\/li>\n<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\n<li>Pain in your bones, joints, or abdomen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62568 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Blood-Cancer.jpg\" alt=\"Blood Cancer_Activ Living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Blood cancer can be diagnosed with many diagnostic methods and clinical evaluations, such as blood tests, bone marrow tests, karyotyping, and molecular analysis.

In some patients, a stem cell transplant is provided along with chemotherapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Radiation therapy<\/strong> uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells in the affected areas of the body.
