Leukemia has become one of the most commonly diagnosed types of cancer worldwide. It is basically an umbrella term used to describe four major types of bone marrow and blood cell cancer. In India, more than 10,000 cases of childhood leukemia is reported on an annual basis. Some of the most challenging hurdles our country faces in cancer treatment are lack of awareness and superstitions about the disease. Most of the patients who fail to survive, succumb due to wrong diagnosis and most importantly, delay in receiving treatment. Cancer related to blood cells is called Leukemia. Under this condition, your bone marrow produces abnormal cancerous blood cells that crowd out the normal and healthy blood cells. Fortis Hospitals is ranked among some of the leading leukemia cancer treatment hospital in India. Our team comprise of oncologists and BMT experts, coming with several years of medical experience.
There are four main types of leukemia:
Acute Myeloid leukemia: This is a type of cancer where the bone marrow makes unhealthy red blood cells, myoblasts (a type of white blood cell), or platelets.
Chronic Myeloid leukemia: People diagnosed with this type of blood leukemia will be producing too many white blood cells in their body.
Acute Lymphocytic leukemia: A type of blood cancer in which the bone marrow produces too many unhealthy white blood cells. This is also one of the most common types of blood cancer diagnosed.
Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia: In this condition too, the bone marrow produces too many white blood cells in the body.
Fortis Healthcare is a leading leukemia cancer treatment hospital in India. Our team is dedicated to fight leukemia in the best way it can. Human bodies make all kinds of blood cells- from the infection-fighting white blood cells, the oxygen-transporting red blood cells and the clot-forming platelets — in the bone marrow itself. All blood cells initially begin their journey as unspecified, under-formed cells, and gradually develop into the mature kinds that help us stay healthy.
But in people with acute leukemia, blood cells fail to naturally progress past the initial phase. And in people with chronic leukemia, even though those cells do progress past the beginning phase, they often get outnumbered by other abnormal, diseased cells. In both cancers, the abnormal blood cells then defeat the healthy sorts, not only in the bone marrow itself, but in the bloodstream and other parts of the immune system too. That is why people with leukemia, and most other cancers, have a compromised immunity. Age is also a risk factor for leukemia and almost half the cases of blood cancer are found amongst children under 15. Fortis is one of the best BMT & hematology hospitals in India that hands out cutting edge leukemia treatment to patients.
