Blood cancer
Haematological malignancies. Blood cancer is a broad term used to describe types of cancer that affect the blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system
Types of blood cancer
Leukaemia
Leukaemia affects the white blood cells and starts in the bone marrow, the soft tissue inside most bones where blood cells are made. There are four main types of leukaemia and they are named based on the type of white blood cell which is affected and whether it is acute (fast growing) or chronic (slow growing).
Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma
These two types of cancers begin in a subset of white blood cells called lymphocytes and largely involve the glands (lymph nodes). The difference between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma is largely attributed to the cellular types involved, but there are many subtypes and the behaviour of the diseases can vary.
Myeloma
This cancer affects plasma cells, a type of white blood cell that is made in the bone marrow, which form part of your immune system. Usually these plasma cells produce immunoglobulins, which are antibodies which help to fight infection. Myeloma is a result of DNA which is damaged in the development of these plasma cells.
