{"id":32,"count":3,"description":"Blood cancers, also known as hematologic cancers, are malignancies that begin in the blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and lymphatic system. These cancers disrupt the normal production and function of blood cells, impairing the body's ability to fight infection, carry oxygen, and prevent bleeding.\r\n\r\nThere are three major types:\r\n\r\nLeukemia \u2013 Affects the bone marrow and blood, leading to the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. Subtypes include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).\r\n\r\nLymphoma \u2013 Originates in the lymphatic system. It is divided into Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), marked by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), which encompasses a diverse group of lymphoid malignancies.\r\n\r\nMyeloma \u2013 Also known as multiple myeloma, it arises from plasma cells in the bone marrow, affecting the body\u2019s ability to produce healthy antibodies.\r\n\r\nEach subtype behaves differently and requires tailored diagnostic and treatment strategies. Advances in therapies such as immunotherapy, CAR-T cell therapy, and bone marrow transplantation have significantly improved outcomes for many patients with blood cancers.","link":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/category\/cancers\/blood-cancers\/","name":"Blood Cancers","slug":"blood-cancers","taxonomy":"category","parent":31,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/32","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/31"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/oncomotive.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=32"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
