Blood Cancer Treatment in Raipur

Blood cancers behave differently from solid tumours. They are not staged by size, they often respond quickly to medicines, and several of them are treated with the intent to cure even when they appear widespread at diagnosis.

Dr. Ravi Jaiswal treats leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and related marrow disorders in Raipur, including bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, chemotherapy protocols and transplant assessment.

Blood cancers and marrow disorders treated

  • Acute myeloid leukaemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
  • Chronic myeloid leukaemia and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
  • Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma and plasma cell disorders
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anaemia
  • Paediatric leukaemia, in coordination with paediatric services

Symptoms that should be investigated

  • Persistent fever without an obvious infection
  • Unusual tiredness or breathlessness from anaemia
  • Easy bruising, nosebleeds or bleeding gums
  • Painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin
  • Bone or back pain, especially in myeloma
  • Repeated infections or drenching night sweats

How blood cancers are diagnosed

Diagnosis usually starts with a complete blood count and peripheral smear, followed by bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular testing. These tests do more than name the disease — they define the risk category, which decides the intensity of treatment and whether transplant should be planned early.

Treatment approaches

  • Protocol-based chemotherapy for acute leukaemia
  • Oral targeted therapy such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors for CML
  • Immunochemotherapy and monoclonal antibodies for lymphoma
  • Proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulators for myeloma
  • Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant in eligible patients
  • Transfusion support, infection prophylaxis and growth factor support

Frequently asked questions

Does Dr. Ravi Jaiswal treat blood cancer?

Yes. He treats leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and related marrow disorders, and is a bone marrow transplant specialist.

Is blood cancer curable?

Several blood cancers, including many lymphomas and childhood leukaemias, are treated with curative intent and respond very well. Others are managed as long-term controllable conditions. The outlook depends on the exact diagnosis and risk category.

Is a bone marrow test painful?

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy is done under local anaesthesia and takes about 15–20 minutes. Most patients describe brief pressure or discomfort rather than sharp pain.

Do all blood cancers need a transplant?

No. Many are treated with chemotherapy or targeted therapy alone. Transplant is reserved for specific diagnoses and risk groups where it clearly improves control.
