“What is the survival rate of blood cancer?”
Hematological cancer is a disease in which an abnormal phenomenon occurs during the production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets, which are cellular components in the blood, and cancer cells are formed.
Unlike other common cancers, cancer cells do not form lumps in the organ, but spread to the blood, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. Therefore, chemotherapy, rather than surgical treatment, is the basic principle.
Actor Ahn Sung-ki There are roughly 70 types of blood cancer, and among them, leukemia, malignant lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are the most representative.
Among them, the most prevalent type is malignant lymphoma, which is known to cause 4,000 to 5,000 new cases each year. Malignant lymphoma is also a disease that Ji-woong Heo, a critic and writer-turned-broadcaster, was diagnosed with and returned to broadcasting following being cured 8 months following diagnosis.
Early diagnosis and treatment of blood cancer are important. In particular, acute leukemia can lead to death within days to weeks following onset, so prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment are important.
