Leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma are the three most common types of blood cancer. They affect different types of blood cells.
Leukemia develops when abnormal white blood cells grow uncontrollably, which can disrupt the production of red blood cells and platelets.
Lymphoma affects lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps your body fight infections. When cancerous lymphocytes grow out of control, they accumulate in your lymph nodes and body tissues and alter the function of your immune system.
Myeloma affects plasma cells, which are white blood cells that produce antibodies to fight infections and diseases. Abnormal plasma cells interfere with antibody production, which weakens your immune system and increases your risk of infection.
These diseases have common symptoms:
Fatigue. One of the earliest and most common signs of blood cancer is persistent fatigue that does not go away with rest.
Frequent infections. Blood cancer affects the function and production of white blood cells, which help fight infection.
Unusual bruising and bleeding.These conditions can interfere with the body's ability to produce normal platelets, which help blood clot properly.
Night sweats.Excessive sweating at night is common in people with blood cancer. It can be so severe that it soaks through pajamas or sheets.
Fever. This may be a sign of inflammation associated with cancer or due to toxins released into the blood by cancer cells.
Unmotivated weight loss.
