Do white cells go up with cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Patients with certain forms of leukemia can have elevated white blood counts, but otherwise it is not common for white cells to go up with a cancer diagnosis. It can go down with cancer therapy, which is something we pay close attention to when patients are under treatment.
