Blood Cancer

Overview

Blood cancer, or haematological malignancy, is a group of cancers that affect the production and function of blood cells, arising in the bone marrow, blood, or lymphatic system. The principal categories are the leukaemias, which involve clonal proliferation of white-cell precursors in the marrow; the lymphomas, which arise from lymphocytes within lymphoid tissue; and the plasma-cell disorders, including multiple myeloma. These malignancies result from mutations and chromosomal abnormalities that disrupt normal haematopoiesis and immune function, producing anaemia, infection, bleeding, and organ involvement. Diagnosis relies on blood counts, bone-marrow examination, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular profiling, while treatment combines chemotherapy, targeted and immune therapies, radiotherapy, and stem-cell transplantation, with extensive transfusion support. Because management depends on blood products and the correction of cytopenias, blood cancers are intimately connected with transfusion medicine. The research themes connected here engage broader cancer biology and diagnostics, including stem-cell research ethics, immunoassays and immunogenomic approaches for monitoring cancer, and biomarker-development platforms, alongside studies of cancer screening, tumour-suppressor mutations, and molecular diagnostic technologies. Across these topics, malignant transformation, immune monitoring, and diagnostic innovation recur. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical and laboratory studies, case reports, and reviews addressing haematological malignancies and the transfusion-relevant aspects of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
