Research Funding
Since the first funding in 1954, the Society has awarded over $550 million in research grants.
Now at about $68 million annually, the Society’s grant programs are among the most prestigious in the fields of hematology and oncology.

Cancer- Defined
A general term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and do not properly carry out their normal function. Cancer is not contagious.

Blood Cancers
Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are cancers that originate in the bone marrow or lymphatic tissues .
An estimated 823,000 people are currently living with blood cancers in the US.
![Page 10: Educational Presentation. Program Overview Provide information on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Describe blood cancers Explain Pennies for Patients.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d935503460f94a7a203/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Blood Cancers- Statistics
Approximately every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
Every ten minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer.

Of the new cases of blood cancers diagnosed in 2007, an estimated:
14% were myeloma33% were leukemia53% were lymphoma

Leukemia- Defined
Leukemia is a disease of the bone marrow, the spongy center of bones that makes blood cells.
In leukemia, the body makes too many abnormal (cancerous) white blood cells.
![Page 16: Educational Presentation. Program Overview Provide information on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Describe blood cancers Explain Pennies for Patients.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d935503460f94a7a203/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Leukemia- Types
Four main types include:ALL- Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
AML- Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
CLL- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
CML- Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
![Page 17: Educational Presentation. Program Overview Provide information on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Describe blood cancers Explain Pennies for Patients.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d935503460f94a7a203/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Leukemia- Signs and Symptoms
Easy bruising or bleeding Due to lack of platelets
Paleness or easy fatigueDue to lack of red blood cells
Recurrent infectionsDue to lack of functioning white blood
cellsNo symptoms
![Page 18: Educational Presentation. Program Overview Provide information on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Describe blood cancers Explain Pennies for Patients.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d935503460f94a7a203/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Leukemia- Causes and Incidence
The cause is not known; however, long term exposure to certain chemicals and large doses of radiation can cause the disease.
Leukemia is most common among adults over age 67.
Although cancer is rare in children, leukemia causes more deaths than any other type of cancer in people under the age of 20.
![Page 19: Educational Presentation. Program Overview Provide information on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Describe blood cancers Explain Pennies for Patients.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d935503460f94a7a203/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Leukemia- Survival
Survival rates, overall, are higher in children than in adults.
In 1964, the five-year survival rate for children under age 15 was only 3%. By 2001, it had improved to 86% due to the advancements in treatment made possible by research.

Lymphoma- Defined
A group of related types of blood cancer.
In lymphomas, the abnormal (cancerous) white blood cells develop in the lymphatic system.

Persistent fatigue Recurrent high fever Night sweats Weight loss/loss of appetite Bone pain Excessive itching No symptoms

Lymphoma- Causes and Incidence
The cause is not known, although long term exposure to certain chemicals and large doses of radiation can cause the disease.
The risk of NHL increases with age. The highest incidence of Hodgkin’s is among people between ages 20-35.
Organ transplants or HIV/AIDS can increase risk.
NHL is the 5th most common type of cancer in the US.

Lymphoma- Survival
Hodgkin lymphoma is considered one of the most curable forms of cancer
Five-year survival rates for NHL are around 60%; however, this varies depending on a person’s age, other medical problems and the type of NHL.

Myeloma- Defined
Myeloma is a type of blood cancer.
Myeloma and melanoma are not the same type of cancer.
Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells (type of white blood cell), which are part of the body’s immune system.

Myeloma- Causes & Incidence
Causes of myeloma are not well understood.
86% of cases of myeloma occur in adults over age 55.
For unknown reasons, myeloma occurs most frequently: In men Within the African American
population
