Treatment in India is available at various corporate hospitals that are JCI accredited, ISO
certified or in the process of achieving these seals. Various corporate hospitals in India are
specially designed according to the needs of international patients. Over the last two
decades, the economic boom in India has led to the building of medical facilities &
infrastructure that rival the very best that western medical care has to offer. Blood Cancer
Treatment in India is available at various corporate hospitals that facilitate world class, high
quality and affordable medical treatment and healthcare tourism in India. About Blood
Cancer Blood Cancer or Leukemia refers to a group of cancers of the blood cells. In blood
cancer, white blood cells become abnormal, and divide and grow in an uncontrolled way.
White blood cells and blood cancer White blood cells are made in your bone marrow, which
is the soft spongy centre of your bones. Your bone marrow makes the most basic type of
cells (called stem cells), and they can develop further into three types of cells – white
blood cells - protect your body from infection red blood cells - carry oxygen around your body
platelets - important for normal blood clotting Once these cells are made, they enter your
bloodstream. White blood cells are involved in your body\'s immune system, a defense
system that protects you from infections. There are two main types of white blood cells myeloid cells and lymphocytes. In blood cancer, some of the white blood cells don\'t grow
properly. They stay in the bone marrow and keep reproducing in an uncontrolled way. These
abnormal white blood cells fill up the bone marrow and prevent it from making healthy white
blood cells. This means the body is less able to fight off infections. The abnormal white blood
cells also prevent bone marrow from making enough red blood cells and platelets. A lack of
red blood cells leads to less oxygen being delivered to the organs and tissues of your body.
This is called anemia, and it can make you feel tired and breathless. A lack of platelets can
lead to problems with the blood-clotting system, and results in bleeding and bruising much
more easily than usual. Causes of Blood Cancer The exact cause of blood cancer is
unknown, although there are some factors that increase the chance of developing it. These
include- a weakened immune system - this may be a result of medicines that suppress the
immune system (eg medicines to prevent rejection of organ transplants), high doses of
radiation (eg radiotherapy or chemotherapy for another cancer), or diseases that affect the
immune system (eg HIV) age - chronic leukemia is more common in people who are over 40
gender - slightly more men than women are affected by leukemia smoking certain genetic
conditions, such as Down\'s syndrome other blood disorders, such as aplastic anemia, a rare
condition where the bone marrow fails to produce blood cells correctly contact with a
chemical called benzene, one of the chemicals in petrol and a solvent used in the rubber and
plastics industry Types of Blood Cancer / Leukemia There are several types of blood cancer.
They are named according to the type of white blood cells (myeloid cells or lymphocytes) that
are affected and how quickly the disease develops. Only the common types are discussed
here. The two main types of blood cancer are acute and chronic. Acute blood cancer In acute
blood cancer, symptoms develop rapidly and the cancer can quickly become life-threatening
if it\'s not treated. The most common form of acute blood cancer affects lymphocytes. This is
called acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Another type of acute blood cancer is acute
myeloid leukemia (AML). Chronic blood cancer In chronic blood cancer, symptoms develop
slowly and the white blood cells are almost fully grown and normal when they leave the bone
marrow and enter the bloodstream. They can function, but not as well as they should do.
One type of blood cancer, called chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), affects a particular type of
white blood cells called myeloid cells. It has two phases, a chronic phase that can last for
several years, during which symptoms develop slowly, followed by a more aggressive phase
(accelerated phase), where symptoms quickly get worse. Symptoms The symptoms of blood
cancer vary, depending on the exact type of disease and how advanced it is. There may be
no symptoms in the early stages, especially in people with chronic blood cancer. Many
symptoms are vague, such as fever, headaches, weight loss and night sweats. Symptoms of
blood cancer include – tiredness, breathlessness and pale skin (due to anemia, a
reduction in number of red cells in the blood) frequent infections that do not get better
increased bruising abnormal bleeding from gums and cuts heavier periods in women
nosebleeds bone pain (due to the pressure of a build-up of cells in the bone marrow) swollen
lymph glands (glands in the neck, groin and under the arms) abdominal pain (due to an
enlarged spleen or liver) swollen gums, and occasionally, swollen testicles headaches and
vision problems Treatment for Blood Cancer The effectiveness of treatment for blood cancer
depends on the type and stage of the disease. Acute blood cancer or acute leukemia often
goes into remission (the symptoms go away; the disease is under control but not necessarily
cured). But many people with acute blood cancer have a relapse (the disease returns).
Treatment includes – chemotherapy radiotherapy bone marrow or stem cell transplant
monoclonal antibodies biological therapy (which may be in the form of tablets) steroids Why
consider India? Blood Cancer Treatment in India is available at various hospitals of Mumbai,
Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and New Delhi at an affordable price. Various corporate
hospitals in India use latest technology to perform complex medical treatments and
procedures. Most state of the art equipment is imported from countries like USA, UK,
Germany, Japan etc. While the treatment in Indian private hospitals are at par with the
hospitals in USA and UK, the cost for such treatment in India is actually a fraction of what it
would cost in western countries. For more details visit our website www.forerunnershealthcare.com Or you can email your queries at
