There are several types of blood cancer, including myeloma, leukaemia, lymphoma. In leukaemia production of red blood cells and platelets are interrupted.

Cancer hospitals in India stress the importance of contacting a doctor immediately after noticing the symptoms that last longer than usual. The doctor will diagnose the stage of cancer by a process called staging. Other tests like bone marrow examination, CT scans, X Rays and PET scan, blood tests are advised by the doctor after the physical examination of the patient.

Treatment The best blood cancer treatment in India available in hospitals varies according to the severity and the type of cancer. It also comes with its own set of risks and side effects. Medications can treat some slow-growing cancers, but the rapidly growing ones require other treatments. The doctors might determine this by analyzing the blood reports and the overall health of the person. Some of the treatment methodologies are- ●Radiation therapy- Radiotherapy treatment for cancer uses high energy radiation is used to kill the cancer cells.

During chemotherapy, even the healthy cells are destroyed, but they can regenerate themselves after it. ●Bone Marrow Transplant- This replaces the affected bone-marrow with the healthy stem cells.

However, a cancer hospital in Gurgaon suggests that treatments like radiation and chemotherapy affect the patient’s body to some extent. Thus, other supportive treatments are required for recovery.
