Abstract:
Leukaemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma are among the blood neoplasms that affect the blood and blood-forming tissues that make up haematological cancers. However, improving the quality of life for Africans who have a haematological malignancy remains difficult due to a variety of issues, including social, health, economic, and family issues. This review's objective was to identify potential strategies for enhancing the quality of life for Africans dealing with haematological cancer. These strategies include detection, diagnosis and current haematological cancer treatments. If carefully followed, these steps might ensure that Africans with blood cancer have a better life expectancy.
