| The major types of blood cancer
include lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma.
These cancers are located in either the bone marrow or the lymphatic tissues
They affect the way your body makes blood and provides immunity from other
diseases. The survival rates for people with blood cancer have increased in the
past 30 years. In 1960, only around 4% of children diagnosed with childhood
leukemia survived. Today, 79% are expected to live if they receive the best
treatment available. However, leukemia is still the leading cause of death in
children by this disease. Adults are more likely than children to get blood
cancer, since the risk increases with age. In 2003, it is estimated that over
110,000 Americans will be diagnosed with one of the blood cancers and over
55,000 will die from the disease. Lymphomas account for approximately 55% of new
cases, leukemia about 28%, and myeloma about 14%. The less common types of blood
cancers cause about 3% of cases. The actual causes of blood cancer is unknown.
Researchers are trying to identify why and how the body starts producing
abnormal cells and how those cells begin invading the body's blood system. click

| Blood cancer are the types of cancer that affect blood, bone
marrow, and lymph nodes. As the three are intimately connected through the
immune system, a disease affecting one of the three will often affect the others
as well: although lymphoma is technically a disease of the lymph nodes, it often
spreads to the bone marrow, affecting the blood and occasionally producing a
paraprotein.
While uncommon in solid tumors, chromosomal translocations are often a common
cause of these diseases. Leading to a different approaches in diagnosis and
treatment of hematological malignancies.
Hematological malignancies are malignant neoplasms "cancer", and
they are generally treated by specialists in hematology and/or oncology. In some
centers Hematology oncology is a single sub-specialty of internal medicine
while in others they are considered separate divisions. Note there are also
surgical and radiation oncologists. Not all hematological disorders are
malignant or cancerous; these other blood conditions may also be managed by a
hematologist.
Hematological malignancies may derive from either of the two major blood cell
lineages: myeloid and lymphoid cell lines. The myeloid cell line normally
produces granulocytes, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, macrophages and mast cells;
the lymphoid cell line produces B, T, NK and plasma cells. Lymphomas,
lymphocytic leukemias, and myeloma are from the lymphoid line, while acute and
chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative
diseases are myeloid in origin. |

"Every drug increases and complicates the patients
condition." Robert Henderson, M.D.

taking drug - medicines more impurities are added, thereby the case is further
embarrassed and harder to cure." Elmer Lee, M.D.

appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements." - JAMA

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
