There are 5 main types of Blood Cancer
Leukemia
Lymphoma
Multiple Myeloma
Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN)
Leukemia
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, caused by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells. These abnormal cells are unable to fight infection and impair the bone marrow's ability to produce red blood cells and platelets.
Acute Leukemia: Fast-growing and requires immediate, aggressive treatment.
Chronic Leukemia: Develops more slowly and may not show symptoms for years.
Childhood Leukemia: The most common form of cancer in children, often highly treatable with modern protocols.
Best Treatment Options for Blood Cancer
Treatment in India follows international protocols and is tailored according to cancer subtype, genetic markers, stage, and patient fitness:
-
Chemotherapy: Uses cytotoxic drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cancer cells. Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) / Stem Cell Transplant:
-
Autologous Transplant: Uses the patient’s own stem cells.
-
Allogenic Transplant: Uses stem cells from a matched donor (related or unrelated).
-
Targeted Therapy: Drugs that act on specific molecular or genetic abnormalities in cancer cells (e.g., Imatinib for CML), sparing normal cells.
-
Immunotherapy (Biologic Therapy): Enhances the body’s immune response to recognise and destroy cancer cells.
-
CAR-T Cell Therapy: A specialised treatment where a patient’s T-cells are genetically modified to target and kill cancer cells, used in selected relapsed or resistant cases.
-
Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation used to destroy cancer cells, commonly applied in certain lymphomas.
Diagnosis
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Detects abnormal levels of white cells, red cells, and platelets.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy: A marrow sample (usually from the hip bone) to confirm diagnosis and assess disease extent.
- PET-CT Scan: Evaluates disease spread to lymph nodes and organs.
- Flow Cytometry & Cytogenetics: Specialised tests analysing cancer cell markers and genetic changes to guide therapy selection.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the risk of blood cancer include:
- Chemical Exposure: Long-term exposure to chemicals such as benzene.
- Radiation Exposure: Previous high-dose radiation therapy.
- Genetic Disorders: Certain inherited conditions, such as Down syndrome.
- Family History: Blood cancers or related disorders in close relatives.
- Viral Infections: Viruses such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) or HIV.

Preparing for Treatment
- Fertility Preservation: Chemotherapy or radiation may affect fertility; sperm or egg preservation may be discussed.
- Dental Clearance: Helps reduce infection risk during periods of low immunity. Central Line (PICC / Hickman) Placement: Allows safe administration of chemotherapy and blood products.
- Donor Matching (HLA Typing): Required if a bone marrow or stem cell transplant is planned.

Cost estimation
Learn about the expenses involved in the procedure and what factors affect them.
The cost of blood cancer treatment in India depends on several variables, including cancer type, number of chemotherapy cycles, need for transplant, and hospital infrastructure. Major costs include specialist consultation, laboratory investigations, hospitalisation, and medications. These figures represent estimated base ranges. For patients travelling from Bangladesh, Oman, Sri Lanka, or other countries, final costs may vary due to visa requirements, country-specific registration, and additional support services.

Commonly Asked Questions
How long does a replaced heart valve last?
Mechanical valves can last several decades but require lifelong anticoagulation. Biological (tissue) valves typically last 10–15 years before replacement may be needed.
Is TAVR better than open-heart surgery?
TAVR is less invasive and offers faster recovery, making it suitable for older or high-risk patients. Open-heart surgery may still be preferred for younger patients or complex cases.
What is the recovery time?
Hospital stay is usually 5–7 days. Full recovery takes about 6–8 weeks after open-heart surgery, while TAVR patients often recover within 2–3 weeks.
Can I lead a normal life after valve replacement?
Yes. Most patients experience significant improvement in breathing and energy levels. With proper medication and regular follow-up, many people return to normal daily activities.
Do I need to take blood thinners forever?
Mechanical valves require lifelong anticoagulants (such as Warfarin). Tissue valves usually require blood thinners only for a short period after surgery
