For example, <strong>leukemia is diagnosed in more than 470,000 people each year globally<\/strong>. Early detection, access to innovative treatments, and bone marrow donation are key in the fight against these types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You can also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/nacionales\/salud\/donar-sangre-una-carrera-en-rd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donating blood is a race against time in the Dominican Republic.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\nIn recent years, medicine has achieved <strong>remarkable advances<\/strong> in targeted therapies, <strong>immunotherapy<\/strong>, and <strong>transplants<\/strong>, which has improved survival rates and the quality of life for many patients. However, access to these treatments is not equitable in all countries.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>World Blood Cancer Day<\/strong> also highlights the importance of being a bone marrow donor. Although many patients need a transplant to survive, only one in four finds a compatible donor within their family. Therefore, registering as a voluntary donor can make the difference between life and death for a person waiting for a second chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"277230\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Pinta-de-sangre-1024x538.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-277230\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"481701\" src=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/test-sangre-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-481701\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santo Domingo.- Every May 28th, World Blood Cancer Day is commemorated, a date that seeks to bring visibility to the different forms of hematological diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other malignant conditions that affect the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system.
