Blood cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect blood cell production and

function [2]. There are three main types of blood cancer: leukemia, lymphoma, and
myeloma [2]. Leukemia is a blood cancer that begins in young white blood cells and
can be either acute or chronic [2]. Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in white blood
cells in the lymphatic system [2]. Myeloma is another type of blood cancer that
affects white blood cells differently and tends to develop slowly [2]. There are
also other conditions that can appear similar to cancer or turn into cancer [2].
Groundbreaking CAR T-cell immunotherapy has emerged from support of leukemia
research [1]. Treatments for blood cancers vary depending on the type and stage of
the cancer [2]. You can learn more facts and statistics about blood cancer,
including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and
myeloproliferative neoplasms, from reliable sources [3].
