• Leukemia(Blood Cancer) is a cancer of the
  bone marrow and blood and is the most common type
  of childhood cancer. The bone marrow is the soft,
  spongy center of the bones and produces the three
  types of blood cells white blood cells that
  fight infection, red blood cells that carry
  oxygen and platelets that help with blood
  clotting and bleeding . Leukemia(Blood Cancer )
  begin in the bone marrow from where blood is
  produced. An uncontrolled growth of an abnormal
  type of blood cell interrupts the development
  process of a normal blood cell. The cancerous
  cells or abnormal blood cells prevent the blood
  from performing functions such as preventing
  serious bleeding or fighting off with infections.

• Myeloma  Plasma cells are targeted by this type
  of blood cancer. Infection and disease fighting
  antibodies in the body are produced by plasma
  cells that are basically white blood cells.
• Leukemia  This type of blood cancer is due to
  rapid production of abnormal white blood cells.
  Leukemia can be found in bone marrow and in
  blood. These abnormal cells are no more able to
  fight off infection and also impair the bone
  marrows ability to produce platelets and red
  blood cells.
• Lymphoma  Lymphatic system that produces immune
  cells and also removes excess fluids from the
  body gets affected by lymphoma blood cancer.

• In general, there are Five major approaches to
  the treatment of leukemia
• Chemotherapy to kill leukemia cells using strong
  anti-cancer drugs
• Interferon therapy to slow the reproduction of
  leukemia cells and promote the immune system's
  anti-leukemia activity
• Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells by
  exposure to high-energy radiation
• Stem cell transplantation (SCT) to enable
  treatment with high doses of chemotherapy and
  radiation therapy and
• Surgery to remove an enlarged spleen or to
  install a venous access device (large plastic
  tube) to give medications and withdraw blood
  samples.

Stem cell transplantation Younger patients that
are at high risk for dying from CLL might
consider hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
(HSCT). Autologous stem cell transplantation, a
lower-risk form of treatment using the patient's
own blood cells, is not curative. Myeloablative
(bone marrow killing) forms of allogeneic stem
cell transplantation, a high-risk treatment using
blood cells from a healthy donor, may be curative
for some patients, but most patients cannot
tolerate the treatment.
Biological Therapy  Biological therapy, also
referred to as immunotherapy, involves the
treatment with those substances that affect the
ability of an immune system to kill cancer cells.
Monoclonal antibodies and interferon are the two
types of biological therapy. The purpose of
monoclonal antibodies is to stick to cancer cells
in order to draw the attention of the immune
system to these cancer cells. On the other hand,
interferon helps in stimulating the immune system
so as to destroy the cancer cells.
