Patterns of hematological and non-hematological malignancies in bone marrow in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal--11 years study.

Developing countries bear more than half of the global cancer burden and the leukemia comprises of 3% of all malignancies with an incidence of 300,500 per year. The patterns of subtypes of leukemias vary in different populations and geographic areas. Here, we analyze both the hematological and non-hematological malignancies in the Western region of Nepal.
