Blood Cancer

Haematology is the study of blood, blood diseases, and blood-forming tissues and organs.1 Haematologists focus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood-related disorders and malignancies. They also treat lymphatic organs such as bone marrow, the thymus, spleen and tonsils, which are fed by blood cells and are crucial for the body’s immune response.2

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML)

Acute Myeloid Leukaemia is a rare, fast-acting form of blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow and affects immature white blood cells that would usually grow into various healthy blood cells.3 In AML, these abnormal blood cells do not mature and instead replicate and replace healthy cells, keeping important organs from functioning, thereby weakening the immune and healing processes.4

Amyloidosis

Amyloidosis occurs when the body begins to make a protein differently than it did before and is no longer able to absorb that protein.5 There are several types of Amyloidosis, the four most common of which are: Amyloid light-chain (AL) Amyloidosis, Amyloid A (AA) Amyloidosis, Hereditary Amyloidosis, and Wild-type Amyloidosis.6
