Blood Cancer Awareness Month: highlighting our open access blood cancer research
To mark Blood Cancer Awareness Month, our editors across a number of open access oncology journals have developed a collection of articles to showcase some of the latest research in the field. We’ve also created a blood cancer morphology quiz to help visualize the different types of blood cancers. Let us know what you think of the research or the quiz @OncoBioMed #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth.

September marks Blood Cancer Awareness Month. In recognition of this, we are proud to present some of our research on blood cancer that has been published within the open access oncology journal portfolio.
Blood cancer encompasses many different hematological disorders that affect the blood, bone marrow and/or lymphatic system. The different types of blood cancer can be grouped into the following categories: leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. It is estimated that in the US, a person is diagnosed with blood cancer every three minutes. Leukemia is a global problem and is currently ranked the 13th most common cancer worldwide.
