Leukaemia Foundation Of Queensland Gold Coast Brach
Charity in Willoughby

Leukaemias are cancers that affect the blood and bone marrow. Increasing numbers of irregular lymphocytes, called lymphoma cells collect and form collections of cancer cells called tumors in lymph nodes (glands) and other parts of the body. Myeloma (also obvious as multiple myeloma) is a cancer of plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) that assist fight infection. Treatment for a blood cancer or a related blood disorder depends on several factors, including the type of disease and a person’s general health. There are two main families of stem cells, which develop into various types of blood cells. The blood cells consist of red cells, white cells and platelets. leukemia is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow where blood cells are made. These cells crowd the bone marrow, preventing it from making normal blood cells. The main symptoms of ALL are caused by a lack of conventional blood cells. Remission means that there is no evidence of leukemic cells in the blood and bone marrow, blood cell production is conventional and blood counts are restored. The bone marrow produces inadequate numbers of red cells, conventional white blood cells and platelets. As the disease progresses, symptoms arise from the increasing number of irregular blood cells in the bone marrow and blood, and the decreasing number of conventional blood cells. Some people are diagnosed with an extremely tall number of white cells in their blood. Chemotherapy is also old to reduce a high white cell count at diagnosis. These abnormal lymphocytes, called lymphoma cells, form collections of cancer cells called tumors, in lymph nodes (glands) and other parts of the body. When it is first diagnosed, it is common for lymphoma to be found in numerous sites in the body at once. These abnormal lymphocytes, called lymphoma cells, form collections of cancer cells called tumors, in lymph nodes (sometimes obvious as glands’) and other parts of the body. There are a number of factors that can lead to an increased chance of developing lymphoma. Lymphoma: what lymphoma is, diagnosis and treatment. In myeloma, large numbers of irregular plasma cells called myeloma cells are made in the bone marrow. They also accumulate in the bone marrow preventing it from making normal red cells, white cells and platelets. The risk of developing myeloma increases with age. Other symptoms are caused by a deficit of conventional blood cells and include: Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer of the plasma cells which are found in the bone marrow.
