Haematology is the branch of science that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases and disorders. Haematology oncology is concerned with the detection and management of blood cancers and their resulting tumours.
Each condition treated under this speciality has a different set of symptoms. However, there are some common symptoms associated with blood cancer that may prompt a patient to visit a haematology oncologist. These include:
Your care plan for blood cancer treatment will be personalised based on the type of cancer, its stage, extremity of symptoms and your general health. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are some common alternatives used to treat blood cancers.
Early signs of blood cancer include coughing, chest pain, fever, chills, frequent infections, itchy skin, rashes, loss of appetite, persistent weakness and fatigue.
Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), amyloidosis and aplastic anaemia are some types of blood cancer.
Blood cancers can be effectively treated and managed but cannot be completely cured.
