Blood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
Blood cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. These cancers affect blood-forming tissues, the lymphatic system or plasma cells.
Possible symptoms may include:
These symptoms are not specific to blood cancer and may occur with several other conditions.
Diagnosis and staging usually combine examination, imaging and a tissue test. Depending on your symptoms and reports, your oncologist may recommend:
The biopsy confirms the diagnosis; scans show the size and spread of the disease, which together decide the stage.
Staging describes how large the cancer is and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Along with the pathology report, biomarkers and your overall health, the stage guides whether treatment aims to cure the cancer, control it over a longer period, or relieve symptoms.
Treatment depends on the specific blood cancer and may include:
Surgery is generally not the primary treatment for most leukaemias, although surgical procedures may sometimes be required for diagnosis, managing complications or treating selected masses.
Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy when appropriate, planned by Dr. Khushboo Jain Karnawat (DM Medical Oncology).
Treatment decisions by a trained surgical oncologist and medical oncologist.
Surgery, systemic therapy and supportive care planned together around your reports.
Modular operation theatre and intensive care for patients who need it.
Specialist cancer care in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for patients across Marathwada.
Common warning signs include persistent fatigue, frequent infections, fever without an obvious cause. These symptoms can also have other causes, so a persistent change should be checked by a doctor.
Usually a combination of complete blood count and peripheral smear, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, flow cytometry, depending on your symptoms and examination findings.
A medical oncologist (hemato-oncologist) usually plans treatment. At Karnawat Cancer Hospital this is coordinated by Dr. Anand Karnawat and Dr. Khushboo Jain Karnawat.
Many patients are treated successfully, especially when the cancer is found early. The outcome depends on the type, stage, biomarkers and overall health, and your oncologist will explain the realistic goals of treatment in your case.
Bring all biopsy and pathology reports, scan reports and CDs, blood test results, a list of current medicines and details of any treatment already received.
