Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact
factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent
articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the
journals with high impact
factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. Impact
factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact
factor is considered to be more important than other ones. Impact
factor can be calculated as average number of citation divided by recent cited
articles published in 2 years. Most blood cancers, also called hematologic cancers, start in the bone marrow, which is where blood is produced. Blood cancers occur when abnormal blood
cells start growing out of control, interrupting the function of normal blood cells, which fight off
infection and produce new blood cells. Treatment for blood
cancer depends on the type of cancer, your age, how fast the
cancer is progressing, where the
cancer has spread and other factors. Some common blood
cancer treatments include:
Stem cell transplantation: A
stem cell transplant infuses healthy blood-forming
stem cells into the body. Stem
cells may be collected from the bone marrow, circulating blood and umbilical cord blood.
Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy uses anticancer
drugs to interfere with and stop the growth of
cancer cells in the body.
Chemotherapy for blood
cancer sometimes involves giving several
drugs together in a set regimen. This treatment may also be given before a
stem cell transplant.
Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy may be used to destroy
cancer cells or to relieve
pain or discomfort. It may also be given before a
stem cell transplant.

Leukaemia is
cancer of blood-forming tissues, including bone marrow. Many types exist such as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid
leukaemia and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Many patients with slow-growing types of
leukaemia don't have symptoms. Rapidly growing types of
leukaemia may cause symptoms that include fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections and easy bleeding or bruising. Treatment is highly variable. For slow-growing leukaemias, treatment may include monitoring. For aggressive leukaemias, treatment includes
chemotherapy that's sometimes followed by radiation and stem-cell transplant. Blood
cells are made inside your bone marrow, and that’s where leukemia starts. It causes your body to make white blood
cells that grow out of control and live longer than they’re supposed to. And unlike normal white blood cells, they don’t help your body fight infection. There are many different forms of leukemia. Some get worse quickly (acute). You’ll probably feel very sick very suddenly, like you’ve come down with the flu. Other forms can take years to cause symptoms (chronic). Your first clue may be abnormal results on a routine blood test. Most signs of leukemia happen because the
cancer cells keep your healthy blood
cells from growing and working normally.
