HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Leukemias and lymphomas are associated with increases in the white cell count. There may also be other changes such as a decrease in the platelet count and hemoglobin particularly if the bone marrow is suppressed.
The bone marrow is involved in the production of white cells, red cells and platelets.
The doctor will do additional tests to determine the exact type of cancer that may be present and the treatment would depend on the the type.
The stage would be determined by these investigations.In some types imaging tests would be needed.
I hope this helps
