The importance given to blood and the understanding of cancer are the two oldest features of medical history. These two concepts are combined in our current description as hematologic oncology. Today the three main types of blood cancer are known as lymphoma, leukemia and multiple myeloma. Each varies slightly in terms of treatment, prognosis and symptoms. Beginning from the discovery of blood circulation and blood grouping, with many new techniques in diagnosis and treatment modalities; the approach to hematology and oncology evolved a lot. This paper provides an overview to the main historical aspects of hematology and leukemia through philately.
