Tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues
Tumors of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues
or
haematopoietic and lymphoid malignancies
are
tumors
that affect the
blood
,
bone marrow
,
lymph
, and
lymphatic system
. As those elements are all intimately connected through both the
circulatory system
and the
immune system
, a disease affecting one will often affect the others as well, making
myeloproliferation
and
lymphoproliferation
(and thus the
leukemias
and the
lymphomas
) closely related and often overlapping problems.
