Regional Advisory Committee on Cancer - Guidance for the Management of Haematological Cancer (September 2004) (PDF 163 KB)

Haematological cancers in adults include a range of diseases including leukaemias, lymphomas and myeloma, all of which differ in diagnosis and management. Collectively they account for about 1 in 14 cancers.
