Leukemia is a blood cancer that originates in the blood and bone marrow. It occurs when the body creates too many abnormal white blood cells and interferes with the bone marrow’s ability to make red blood cells and platelets.
Lymphoma starts in the immune system and affects the lymph nodes and lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell.
