Blood Cancer
Blood cancer, also known as hematologic cancer, refers to a group of cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. These cancers primarily involve the production of abnormal blood cells, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. The three main types of blood cancer are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
Common symptoms
The exact causes of blood cancers are often not well understood. Some factors, such as genetics, exposure to certain chemicals, radiation, and certain infections, may play a role in the development of these cancers.
Blood cancer diagnosis typically involves blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, imaging studies, and sometimes lymph node biopsies. Genetic and molecular tests may also be performed to determine the subtype of cancer and guide treatment decisions.
No, blood cancer is not contagious. It is not caused by infectious agents and cannot be transmitted from one person to another through casual contact.
