Blood cancer is a type of cancer that affects the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system. It prevents blood cells from working properly, making it harder for the body to fight infections or prevent bleeding. There are three primary types of blood cancer.
The first is leukemia, which starts in the blood or bone marrow and disrupts the production of blood cells, making it difficult for the body to fight infections.
The second is lymphoma, which starts in the lymphatic system, a part of the immune system that helps remove waste and fight infections. Lymphoma can lead to swelling in the lymph nodes, making it difficult for the body to defend itself against diseases.
The third type is myeloma, which affects plasma cells. Plasma cells are white blood cells that produce antibodies to fight infections, and myeloma makes these cells behave abnormally.
Blood cancers are treated using therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, or bone marrow transplants. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve the chances of managing the disease.
Symptoms of blood cancer can be vague and often mimic other illnesses. Common signs include:
Since many things can cause these symptoms, it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
The exact cause of blood cancer isn't known, but it typically starts with genetic changes (mutations) in the blood cells. This abnormal change causes cells to grow uncontrollably or not die when they should, leading to cancer.
Factors that might contribute to blood cancers include:
If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, especially if they last more than a few weeks, consult a healthcare provider. Early diagnosis and treatment improve outcomes. Immediate attention is required if:
Age: Older adults are at a higher risk for some blood cancers like leukemia and myeloma.
Family history: A family history of blood cancer can increase your risk.
Exposure to radiation or harmful chemicals: Like benzene and pesticides.
Weakened immune system: Due to HIV/AIDS or organ transplants.
Smoking: Increases the risk, particularly for acute myeloid leukemia.
To diagnose blood cancer, doctors may run the following tests:
Treatment depends on the type and stage of blood cancer and may include:

"VivaVel" has truly made a life-changing impact on our lives during a challenging time. My wife was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), and despite consulting three different doctors in Bangladesh, we were unsatisfied and uncertain about the way forward. It was a confusing and challenging phase until a friend recommended VivaVel.
From the moment "I contacted them", VivaVel provided exceptional support and guidance. They arranged telemedicine consultations with two renowned international doctors, giving us the confidence to make an informed decision. After careful consideration, we selected one of the doctors for my wife's treatment.
VivaVel's assistance went above and beyond our expectations. They helped us with critical processes like obtaining a medical visa invitation letter, visa processing, and coordinating my wife's admission to "Artemis Hospital" in Delhi. They even suggested comfortable accommodations for me as a patient attendant.
What truly stood out was their unwavering support throughout our journey. The "VivaVel team" was always just a phone call away, offering guidance and reassurance during our stay in Delhi. Their professionalism and dedication to helping patients and their families are truly commendable.
I am incredibly grateful for the care and support from "VivaVel." They were a beacon of hope for us during this difficult time, and I sincerely hope they continue their outstanding service to help more needy patients.
Thank you, "VivaVel," for being there for us every step of the way!
