Question 2

is blood of a cancer patient contagious? can that blood give someone else cancer?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: Some blood cancers, lymphomas, oral cancers are associated with the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, ebv. It can be transmitted from person to person as well as through blood transfusion. For vast majority of the cases, cancer is not contagious.

Question 3

which symptoms  of. blood cancer?

Accepted Answer

Too numerous to list: "blood cancer" is a so-so term for leukemia. Anything from a vague feeling of tiredness building over months from a mild anemia, to a catastrophic illness with fatal hemorrhage from many places or catastrophic stroke, or nothing at all. If you have any concerns about having leukemia or any other serious illness, get with your physician -- we can almost always spot serious disease.

Be concise, specific: There is a huge textbook regarding blood cancers- there are so many types of blood cancer. We can't give you the answer as your question is too broad. Rephrase your question, be concise and specific

Question 6

can anaemia later leads to blood cancer?

Accepted Answer

Usually not.: the most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency.  There are a number of other cause, none of which is due to a blood cancer.  It is true that a small number of people who become anemic do so as the first sign of hematologic malignancy, such as leukemia, myeloma, or myelodysplastic syndrome.  If you are worried about this, ask you doctor to explain what is going on.

Question 7

what happens if someone with blood cancer donates blood?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: Most people with leukemia are likely to be anemic and not pass the screening. In the unlikely event that they are unaware of their illness (for example, mild early cll), the donor's body is almost certain to reject the foreign cells as from an unmatched transplant. I've never heard of leukemia transmitted by transfusion. And we screen for htlv-i.

Question 8

what's preventive tips of blood cancer and other cancers?

Accepted Answer

Few if any: Most cancers are enviromental in origin and rarely associated with diet.  The most common viruses are polyoma that is associated with colon Ca, Hep C virus with hepatoma and MMTV virus that enters the Wnt1 gene to help  with the EBV virus the onset of breast Ca, lymphjoma and prostate Ca. In areas free of the virus, incidence of such Ca's  very low. Mice are the most frequent viral carriers.

Question 9

could you tell me what is the survival rate of blood cancer?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are many kinds of "blood cancer" from very aggressive leukemias that can kill a patient in weeks and can be very hard to treat to others that can be present for years or decades and often are not even treated. If you are a little more specific, we could perhaps be more precise in the answer.

Yes: To answer your question simply, yes that is in normal range for cea.  However, a normal CEA  does not mean a person does or does not have a cancer.  It does become useful to trend and monitor for recurrence in patients with colon cancer, especially if they previously had an elevated level.
