Does wbc & platelet count remain high for most of the tumors/cancers ? is the same applicable for esr too ?

No...: WBC is related to specific immune challenges. Platelets for clotting related issues. Bone marrow issues can involve both. ESR ...indicate inflammation, anemia...Different types of cancer/tumor affect them diffrently.
