What is Blood Cancer?
Blood cancers affect the production and function of blood cells in the bone marrow and lymphatic system.
Blood cancer, also known as hematologic cancer, begins in the bone marrow where blood is produced. These cancers occur when abnormal blood cells start growing out of control, interrupting the function of normal blood cells that fight infection, carry oxygen, and stop bleeding.
The three main types of blood cancer are leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Each affects different components of the blood and lymphatic system, requiring specialized diagnostic approaches and treatment protocols.
Recent advances in immunotherapy, particularly CAR-T cell therapy, have revolutionized treatment for many blood cancers, offering new hope to patients with previously limited options. Personalized medicine approaches now allow treatments to be tailored to individual genetic profiles.
According to global cancer statistics, blood cancers account for approximately 10% of all new cancer diagnoses. Survival rates have improved significantly over the past decades due to better treatments, targeted therapies, and stem cell transplantation techniques.
3 Main Types of Blood Cancer
Understanding the different types of blood cancer is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment selection.
Leukemia
Cancer of the blood and bone marrow characterized by overproduction of abnormal white blood cells that interfere with normal blood cell production.
Learn MoreLymphoma
Cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network. Lymphomas develop when lymphocytes grow out of control.
Learn MoreMultiple Myeloma
Cancer of plasma cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and damage bones. Myeloma cells interfere with normal blood cell production.
Learn MoreCommon Symptoms to Watch For
Early detection of blood cancer symptoms can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Fatigue & Weakness
Fever & Chills
Unexplained Weight Loss
Easy Bruising/Bleeding
Frequent Infections
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Night Sweats
Bone/Joint Pain
Shortness of Breath

Accurate diagnosis is essential for determining the most effective treatment approach.
Physical Exam
Complete medical history and physical examination to check for signs of blood cancer.
Blood Tests
Complete blood count (CBC) and other specialized blood tests to detect abnormalities.
Imaging Tests
CT, MRI or PET scans to detect tumors or abnormalities in lymph nodes and organs.
Bone Marrow Biopsy
Sample of bone marrow taken to examine cells under a microscope for cancer.
Genetic Testing

Advanced Treatment Options
Modern blood cancer treatments offer improved outcomes with fewer side effects.
Chemotherapy
Traditional chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to kill fast-growing cancer cells throughout the body. Modern protocols combine different drugs and schedules to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects.

CAR-T Cell Therapy
Revolutionary treatment where a patient's T-cells are genetically modified to attack cancer cells. Highly effective for certain lymphomas and leukemias, especially when other treatments have failed.
Success Rate
85%Duration
4-8 weeks
Side Effects
Cytokine release syndrome, neurological effects
Cost Range
$300,000 - $500,000
Stem Cell Transplant
Procedure to replace diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. Can be autologous (patient's own cells) or allogeneic (donor cells). Often used for leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
Success Rate
60%Duration
3-6 months
Side Effects
Graft vs. host disease, infections, organ damage
Cost Range
$150,000 - $300,000
Targeted Therapy
Drugs that specifically target cancer cells by interfering with specific molecules involved in cancer growth and progression. Includes tyrosine kinase inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, and other precision medicines.
Success Rate
75%Duration
Ongoing
Side Effects
Specific to drug mechanism, generally milder
Cost Range

Patient Success Stories
Real stories from patients who have successfully overcome blood cancer.
Michael Rodriguez
"I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2021. After failed chemotherapy, I came to China for CAR-T therapy. The treatment was successful, and I've been in complete remission for 2 years now. The care and expertise were exceptional."
Sarah Johnson
"Multiple myeloma had taken over my life. Traditional treatments weren't working. I traveled to China for a stem cell transplant combined with immunotherapy. Today, I'm back to work and living a normal life. The cost was a fraction of what I would have paid back home."
Ahmed Hassan
"Non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis was devastating. After researching options worldwide, I chose China for CAR-T therapy. The medical team was incredibly professional, and the facilities were state-of-the-art. I'm now cancer-free and grateful for this second chance at life."

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about blood cancer treatment.
CAR-T therapy has shown remarkable success rates for certain blood cancers. For relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), complete remission rates of 80-90% have been reported. For diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, response rates are typically 50-80%, with about 40% achieving long-term remission. Success depends on cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors.
Treatment costs in China are typically 30-70% lower than in the USA. For example, CAR-T therapy costs $300,000-$500,000 in the USA but only $50,000-$150,000 in China. Stem cell transplants cost $150,000-$300,000 in the USA versus $30,000-$80,000 in China. These lower costs come with similar quality standards, advanced technology, and high success rates.
Side effects vary by treatment type. CAR-T therapy commonly causes cytokine release syndrome (fever, low blood pressure) and neurological effects. Chemotherapy may cause fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and increased infection risk. Targeted therapies have specific side effects based on their mechanism. Stem cell transplants can cause graft-versus-host disease. All side effects are carefully monitored and managed by experienced medical teams.
Treatment duration varies widely. Chemotherapy typically lasts 3-6 months with cycles of treatment and recovery. CAR-T therapy involves 4-8 weeks including cell collection, modification, and infusion. Stem cell transplants require 3-6 months including preparation, transplantation, and recovery. Immunotherapy may continue for 6-12 months or longer. Your oncologist will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific diagnosis and treatment plan.
Yes, many advanced treatments are specifically designed for patients who haven't responded to traditional therapies. CAR-T therapy, in particular, has shown remarkable success in patients with relapsed or refractory blood cancers. Clinical trials of new immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and combination approaches also offer options for patients who have exhausted standard treatments. A consultation with our specialists can determine what options are available for your specific situation.
