In leukemia, the bone marrow (spongy material inside the bones) makes several white blood cells that aren't normal. These abnormal WBCs gather the bone marrow and get into the bloodstream.

Whereas blood cancer that initiates in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, or in the cells of the immune system and it affect the production and function of blood cells.  Maximum blood cancers, the normal blood cell development process are interrupted by uncontrolled growth of an abnormal type of blood cell. These abnormal blood cells, or cancerous cells, inhibit blood from performing many of its functions, like fighting off infections or preventing serious bleeding.
