Leukemia(Blood Cancer ) is a cancer of the bone marrow and blood and is the most common type of childhood cancer. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy center of the bones and produces the three types of blood cells: white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that carry oxygen and platelets that help with blood clotting and bleeding .

Leukemia(Blood Cancer ) is a cancer of the bone marrow
and blood and is the most common type of childhood
cancer. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy center of
the bones and produces the three types of blood cells:
white blood cells that fight infection, red blood cells that
carry oxygen and platelets that help with blood clotting
and bleeding . Leukemia(Blood Cancer ) begin in the
bone marrow from where blood is produced. An
uncontrolled growth of an abnormal type of blood cell
interrupts the development process of a normal blood
cell. The cancerous cells or abnormal blood cells prevent
the blood from performing functions such as preventing
serious bleeding or fighting off with infections.

Types of Blood Cancer
http://medworldindia.com/CancerTreatment/BloodCancerTreatment.htm
Myeloma : Plasma cells are targeted by this type of blood cancer. Infection
and disease fighting antibodies in the body are produced by plasma cells that
are basically white blood cells.
Leukemia : This type of blood cancer is due to rapid production of
abnormal white blood cells. Leukemia can be found in bone marrow and in
blood. These abnormal cells are no more able to fight off infection and also
impair the bone marrow’s ability to produce platelets and red blood cells.
Lymphoma : Lymphatic system that produces immune cells and also
removes excess fluids from the body gets affected by lymphoma blood
cancer. Lymphocytes are considered as a type of white blood cell that helps in
fighting off infection

Diagnosis of Leukemia (Blood Cancer)
Blood Test : The number of some specific blood cells is
determined by performing a blood test.
Spinal Tap : Certain amount of clear fluid is taken that
surrounds the spinal cord and brain.
Chest X-ray : This x-ray helps in determining the
presence of swollen lymph nodes, bone damage or
tumors growing in the bone marrow.
Physical Exam : Swollen lymph nodes can be determined with the help of this test.
Growth of tumors in the bone marrow or damage to the bone can also be determined
with the help of a physical examination
biopsy : The presence of cancer cells is determined by taking a sample of a bone marrow
while performing a biopsy.
Cytogenetics : The change in the genetic material is determined by this test. Urine Test :
The change in the genetic material is determined by this test.

Leukemia is not a single disease. Instead, the
term leukemia refers to a number of related
cancers that start in the blood-forming cells of
the bone marrow. There are both acute and
chronic forms of leukemia, each with many
subtypes that vary in their response to
treatment. In addition, children with leukemia
have special needs that are best met by care in
pediatric cancer centers.

In general, there are five major approaches to the treatment of
leukemia:
Chemotherapy to kill leukemia cells using strong anti-cancer drugs
Interferon therapy to slow the reproduction of leukemia cells and promote the immune
system's anti-leukemia activity
Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells by exposure to high-energy radiation
Stem cell transplantation (SCT) to enable treatment with high doses of chemotherapy
and radiation therapy and
Surgery to remove an enlarged spleen or to install a venous access device (large plastic
tube) to give medications and withdraw blood samples.

7. Stem cell transplantation :Younger patients that are at high risk for dying from CLL might
consider hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Autologous stem cell
transplantation, a lower-risk form of treatment using the patient's own blood cells, is not
curative. Myeloablative (bone marrow killing) forms of allogeneic stem cell
transplantation, a high-risk treatment using blood cells from a healthy donor, may be
curative for some patients, but most patients cannot tolerate the treatment.
Biological Therapy : Biological therapy, also referred to as immunotherapy, involves the
treatment with those substances that affect the ability of an immune system to kill cancer
cells. Monoclonal antibodies and interferon are the two types of biological therapy. The
purpose of monoclonal antibodies is to stick to cancer cells in order to draw the attention
of the immune system to these cancer cells.
Radiotherapy : Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, makes use of energy rays
such as X-rays for stopping the growth and multiplication of the cancer cells. This energy
is directed at any particular part of the body such as the spleen or also to the entire
body.
