#blood cancer, #leukemia, #multiple myeloma, #platelets, #bone marrow, #anemia, #chemotherapy, #hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Blood cancer refers to cancer that arises in the bone marrow, the organ responsible for producing blood cells. The bone marrow makes three types of blood cells: white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. When the bone marrow malfunctions, abnormalities in the number, shape, or function of these cells can cause a variety of symptoms. Frequent nosebleeds or easy bruising can occur, but these symptoms do not necessarily mean a person has blood cancer. If abnormal results appear on a blood test, please consult a hematology-oncology specialist.2026-06-26
