Frequently Asked Questions

Blood cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect the growth and function of blood cells in the body. These cancers include leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

The exact causes of blood cancer are not fully understood, but certain factors like genetic mutations, exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, family history, and certain medical conditions may increase the risk of developing blood cancer.

The common types of blood cancer include leukaemia (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and chronic myeloid leukaemia), lymphoma (Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma), and myeloma.

Symptoms may vary depending on the type of blood cancer, but common symptoms include fatigue, unexplained weight loss, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, bone pain, swollen lymph nodes, and night sweats.

Blood cancer is diagnosed through various tests, including blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, imaging tests (like CT scans or PET scans), and genetic tests to identify specific mutations.

Treatment options for blood cancer may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplant, and, in some cases, surgery.

Some risk factors for blood cancer include exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, family history of blood cancer, genetic mutations, certain medical conditions (such as Down syndrome), and certain viral infections (such as Epstein-Barr virus).

There are no known ways to prevent blood cancer completely, but certain lifestyle choices, such as avoiding exposure to known carcinogens, maintaining a healthy weight, and adopting a balanced diet, may help reduce the risk.

While blood cancer itself is not usually inherited, certain genetic mutations can increase the risk of developing the disease. Some blood cancers have a higher incidence in families with a history of the disease.

The duration of treatment for blood cancer can vary depending on the type, stage, and individual response to treatment. It can range from several months to years.

Side effects of blood cancer treatment can vary depending on the specific treatment received, but common side effects include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, increased risk of infection, anaemia, and increased bleeding tendency.

Blood cancer can recur after treatment, especially if not all cancer cells are eliminated or if new mutations develop

Blood cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage through routine blood tests, which may reveal abnormal blood cell counts. Early diagnosis is crucial for initiating timely treatment and improving outcomes.

While alternative or complementary therapies cannot replace conventional medical treatment, some individuals may choose to incorporate complementary approaches such as acupuncture, meditation, or dietary changes to manage symptoms or support overall well-being. It's important to consult with healthcare professionals before trying any alternative therapies.

A bone marrow transplant, also known as a stem cell transplant, can be a potentially curative treatment for certain types of blood cancer. It involves replacing damaged or abnormal bone marrow cells with healthy cells from a compatible donor.

No, blood cancer is not contagious. It cannot be transmitted from person to person, like a common cold or flu. It originates from genetic mutations and other factors within the body.

Yes, blood cancer can affect children. Childhood leukaemia, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), is the most common type of cancer in children. However, various types of blood cancer can occur in individuals of any age group.

Blood cancer can have implications for pregnancy. The treatment options and their timing may need to be carefully considered to balance the needs of the mother and the potential risks to the fetus. Consultation with healthcare providers experienced in managing blood cancer and pregnancy is crucial.

Yes, there are numerous support groups, both online and offline, that provide valuable resources, information, and emotional support for individuals with blood cancer and their families. These groups offer a platform to connect with others who have similar experiences and can provide additional insights and guidance.
