Meet The Blood Specialists Of Malignant Hematology

What Is Malignant Hematology And Which Is The Most Common?

Malignant hematology is the type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow, blood, and lymph nodes as these are the places where blood is formed. Hematology cancers mostly happen in all these parts and spread in the body. The stem cells in the bone marrow are developed in red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells and if the growth of the abnormal blood cells increases and overtakes the growth of normal blood cells then this will cause interference between the two cell types. Blood cancer is divided into three categories

Lymphoma – This happens when the white blood cells (also known as lymphocytes) are developed abnormally and they develop in lymphoma cells. They multiply and collect in the lymph nodes and other tissues too. Some of the commonly caused lymphomas are AIDS-related lymphoma, primary cell nervous system lymphoma (CNS) Hodgkin, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Leukemia – These are blood cell cancers some of which are fast-growing. Leukemia is often diagnosed in adults over the age of 55 but it’s commonly seen in children under the age of 15. Acute leukemia will develop quickly and the health of the person will worsen rapidly whereas chronic leukemia will get worse over time.

Myeloma – It is a type of cancer that occurs in plasma cells the work of normal plasma cells is to create antibodies that fight diseases and infections but when abnormal myeloma cells develop they lessen the immunity by interfering with antibody production.

Who Are Blood Specialists And How Do They Diagnose Malignant Hematology?

There are other therapies that are involved along with the procedure and treatments, these therapies are

• Growth factor treatments
