Dr. Zhang Heyang
Hemophilia is not a type of blood cancer. Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by abnormal blood clotting function. Blood cancer, also known as leukemia, is primarily a disease caused by the malignant cloning of hematopoietic stem cells. Its development may be due to genetic or physical factors, as well as biological or chemical factors, or other blood disorders.
