Abstract:
The word leukaemia still is associated with foreboding and a fear of premature death. Steady advances have been made in the treatment of childhood leukaemia but, with notable exceptions, the same is not true in adults. The so-called genetic/molecular revolution has extended the understanding of the pathogenesis of many forms of leukaemia but, as yet, has rarely facilitated cure. With the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, chronic myeloid leukaemia is the obvious exception but it still needs to be seen as to whether the cytogenetic/molecular revolution can provide cures for many elderly patients with leukaemia, as such patients respond poorly to chemotherapy. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, although toxic, expensive, and difficult, still provides a cure for many patients. In spite of all these advances, however, most adults with acute leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndrome are destined to die from their disease, and the causes of these fatal illnesses continue to elude researchers.

Abstract:
Haematological malignancies examines the epidemiology, genetics, clinical presentation and classification of these diseases, and presents current treatment approaches for each. First are the acute leukaemias, and the management of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Chronic myeloid leukaemia, its genetics and sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, is described. Myelodysplastic syndromes and their management, are followed by chronic lymphoid leukaemias, a large heterogeneous group of diseases, and their treatment. Hodgkin lymphoma, its pathology and presentation, staging and role of PET scanning, is described along with current treatment with chemotherapy and limited radiotherapy. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is another heterogeneous group of diseases, divided into low-grade and high-grade pathology, and varying in their genetics, presentation, and management. Rituximab is a key component of chemotherapy regimens against B-cell lymphoma. Myeloma and other plasma cell dyscrasias are described, and treatment options reviewed. Myeloma remains incurable, but with appropriate management consistent with prolonged good quality life. Treatment includes chemotherapy, bisphosphonate therapy, analgesics and radiotherapy, Throughout this chapter is emphasised the importance of clinical trials in driving the rapid improvements in treatment of these diseases.

Abstract:
The variety of conditions that are considered to be ‘cancer’ is extremely wide, with marked variation in the management approach from disease to disease. A common feature in the management of malignant conditions, however, is the involvement of a wide range of medical professionals at different stages of the patient pathway. This commonly includes physicians, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and specialist nurses, as well as a plethora of other allied disciplines. As such, a practice that has been widely adopted is to work as a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with regular meetings to decide the appropriate treatment for each patient with a cancer diagnosis, on an individual and case-by-case basis. The main treatment modalities for the treatment of cancer are surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. While these are often combined to form a multimodality therapy, they are all, in isolation, potentially radical (curative) therapies for certain conditions. For example, surgery (in the case of a Stage I colon adenocarcinoma), radiotherapy (in the case of early laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma), and chemotherapy (in the case of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) are all curative as single-modality treatments. It is commonly the case, however, for a patient to require more than one mode of therapy to achieve the best outcome, for example a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for early breast cancer. It can also be the case that two or more different management strategies are thought to give equivalent oncological results, for example surgery or radiotherapy for early prostate cancer. In this situation, the MDT and the patient need to decide on the ‘best’ management plan for the individual, based on their personal and professional opinions and on the differing toxicity profiles of the alternate treatments.

Abstract:
The twenty-first century has brought many innovations in haematology, with improved diagnostic technology, which may inform treatment choices for malignant diseases, and a better understanding of the genetics and/or epigenetics underlying many diseases. Unfortunately, the aetiology of most of these diseases still eludes us, and some common diseases such as sickle cell disease await simple, inexpensive, and widely available curative treatment. For reasons that are often obscure, some diseases have become fashionable and attract large research financial backing, whereas some do not. With the advent of advanced technology and an improved understanding of disease mechanisms, most haematological malignancies should enjoy the same success as the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and chronic myeloid leukaemia.

Abstract:
One of the major advances in haematology during the past six decades has been the development of combination chemotherapy. However, some would dispute the claim that combination chemotherapy has been a major therapeutic advance, arguing that survival for most common cancers has not improved since the advent of chemotherapy. It is certainly true that the survival of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia has improved and that the drug imatinib mesylate and its derivatives have changed the outcome for most patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia. Likewise, combination chemotherapy has greatly modified the prognosis for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, it must be said that the application of combination chemotherapy to common non-haematological cancers has not met with similar success. In this chapter, the practicalities of the treatment of blood disorders are discussed, with specific reference to the use of this therapy by the medical profession.
