* Blood cancer: This is a broad term that encompasses leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
* Hematologic malignancy: This is a more technical term that refers to any cancer of the blood-forming tissues.
* Leukemic: This adjective is sometimes used to describe a person with leukemia or the disease itself.
It's important to note that these terms are not entirely interchangeable and may have slightly different connotations. It's always best to use the term "leukemia" when referring to the specific disease.
