Blood Cancers Explained: Leukemia, Myeloma, Lymphoma, and more

A short and simple video tutorial with animations, to help you gain a basic understanding of Leukemia, Myeloma, Lymphoma, Myelodysplastic syndrome, and the Myeloproliferative diseases including Myelofibrosis.

These are the main diseases relating to cancers of the blood system (hematological malignancy)

I will be covering each of these diseases in more detail in further videos which are coming soon.

LEARNBLOOD aims to make difficult concepts in haematology easy to understand though short, easy to digest videos. We combine dynamic animation with spoken tutorials.

***************************************************************
Important notes from this video:

- Myeloma is a neoplastic disease of plasma cells.

- Lymphoma is a neoplastic disease of mature lymphocytes in lymphoid tissue

- Acute leukemia is a neoplastic disease of immature blood cells - called blasts, in the bone marrow

- Chronic leukemia is a neoplastic disease of mature white blood cells in the bone marrow.

- Myeloproliferative diseases are a group of neoplastic disorders of the bone marrow cells which produce red cells, platelets, and fibroblasts

- Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a pre-cancerous disease of bone marrow, where the dysplastic cells may cause abnormal and inadequate cell production, and may also progress to leukaemia.
