A cancer of the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow — and the most common cancer in children. Many types of leukaemia are now curable.

Leukaemia starts in early white blood cells in the bone marrow. Abnormal cells multiply and crowd out the healthy cells that carry oxygen, fight infection, and stop bleeding. It may be acute (developing quickly) or chronic (developing slowly), and each type is treated differently.
Leukaemia is very treatable today. Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, for example, is cured in the great majority of cases, and modern targeted drugs have transformed chronic leukaemias into manageable conditions with near-normal life expectancy.
A simple blood count is usually the first clue. Diagnosis is confirmed with a bone marrow examination, along with special tests (flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular studies) that identify the exact subtype — essential for choosing the right treatment and predicting response.
Treatment depends on the type: chemotherapy remains the backbone for acute leukaemias, while chronic leukaemias often respond to oral targeted drugs taken at home. Supportive care — transfusions and infection control — is equally important. We provide complete leukaemia care at an affordable cost, with most chemotherapy and transfusions given on a day-care basis.

“We also took a second opinion from Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, where I was advised to continue Dr. Singhvi's treatment. After two years of treatment I am completely healthy and attend my classes regularly.”
