Blood cancers affect the function and production of blood cells, beginning in the bone marrow. Blood cancer specialists, or hematologist-oncologists, can help patients with blood cancer learn more about blood cancer and find the best possible treatments available.
Blood cancer affects the function of your blood cells, as well as the production of blood. Blood cancers typically begin in the bone marrow, where blood is produced. The stem cells in bone marrow develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets.
With the majority of blood cancers, this blood cell development and production is interrupted. Uncontrolled growth of abnormal, cancerous blood cells, prevent your blood from performing its normal functions, including fighting off infections and preventing bleeding during injury.
