Blood Cancer

Blood cancer affects the production and function of blood cells in the body. It usually begins in the bone marrow or lymphatic system and can interfere with the body’s ability to fight infections, carry oxygen, and control bleeding. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important for better recovery and improved quality of life.
