Best Doctors for Blood Cancer Treatment in Vijayawada

Blood cancer can be described as blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) becoming cancerous, affecting how they work and how the body produces these blood cells. Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are the most common types of blood cancers. The other types of blood cancer include myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The significant signs induced by blood cancer include fatigue, shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, frequent infections, bone pain, drenching night sweats, enlarged liver or spleen, joint pain, persistent fever, unexplained weight loss and unusual bruising or bleeding. The main cause of blood cancer is mutations in blood cell DNA which is supposed to give instructions to the blood cells to what to do. The diagnostic tests that help in evaluating for blood cancer are blood tests for cancer such as CBC, imaging scans like CT, MRI and PET and bone marrow biopsy. The treatment modalities to manage blood cancer involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, autologous stem cell transplant and allogeneic stem cell transplant.
