Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes result in insufficient blood cell production, causing anemia, infections, and bleeding. Treatment strategies include blood transfusions.
Acute Leukemias are aggressive cancers of the blood and bone marrow, characterized by rapid cell proliferation. Treatment involves intensive chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and possibly stem cell transplantation for better outcomes.
Chronic Leukemias are cancers of the blood and bone marrow that progress more slowly. Management often includes targeted therapy, medications, and monitoring, aiming to control the disease and improve quality of life.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) is a group of disorders caused by poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells. Treatment focuses on improving blood cell production through medications, blood transfusions.

Lymphoma (Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s) affects the lymphatic system, leading to swollen lymph nodes and systemic symptoms. Treatment varies from chemotherapy and radiation to targeted therapies based on the type and stage.
Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow, causing bone pain and kidney issues. Treatment typically includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and possibly stem cell transplants for disease management.
Plasma Cell Disorders involve abnormal proliferation of plasma cells, leading to conditions like MGUS, multiple myeloma, and plasmacytomas. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and controlling disease progression with targeted therapies.
