LEUKEMIA
Leukemia is a cancer of the body's blood-forming
tissues, including the bone marrow and the
lymphatic system. Many types of leukemia exist.
Some forms of leukemia are more common in
children. Other forms of leukemia occur mostly in
adults. Leukemia usually involves white blood
cells. Your white blood cells are potent
infection fighters they normally grow and
divide in an orderly way, as your body needs
them. But in people with leukemia, the bone
marrow produces an excessive amount of abnormal
white blood cells, which don't function properly.

NON- HODGKIN LYMPHOMA
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that
begins in your lymphatic system, part of the
body's germ-fighting immune system. In
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, white blood cells called
lymphocytes grow abnormally and can form growths
(tumors) throughout the body. Non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma is a general category of lymphoma. Many
subtypes fall into this category. Diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are among
the most common subtypes. The other general
category of lymphoma is Hodgkin's lymphoma.

HODGKIN LYMPHOMA
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that
affects the lymphatic system, which is part of
the body's germ-fighting immune system. In
Hodgkin's lymphoma, white blood cells called
lymphocytes grow out of control, causing swollen
lymph nodes and growth throughout the
body. Hodgkin's lymphoma, which used to be
called Hodgkin's disease, is one of two general
categories of lymphoma. The other is
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Multiple myeloma is a cancer that forms in a type
of white blood cell called a plasma cell. Healthy
plasma cells help you fight infections by making
antibodies that recognize and attack germs. In
multiple myeloma, cancerous plasma cells
accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out
healthy blood cells. Rather than produce helpful
antibodies, the cancer cells produce abnormal
proteins that can cause complications.
