Multiple myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects a type of white blood cells called a plasma cell. These cells collect in the bone marrow and divide uncontrollably, leading to kidney and bone damage. Symptoms include bone pain, loss of appetite, fever, and frequent infections.

Myelodysplastic syndromes: It is a group of disorders that occur due to abnormal functioning of blood cells. Symptoms include shortness of breath, anaemia, fatigue, need for blood transfusion, and risk of infections.

Mantle cell lymphoma: It is the cancer of the lymph tissue where the B-cells or B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cells) grow in an uncontrolled manner and build up in the lymph tissue, blood or bone marrow.
