Yeah, it can have pretty confusing. I think the names oftentimes referenced distinct types or subtypes of blood cancer, but I'm not entirely sure.

Effectively, there's leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, just to name a few. each of those falls under the class of blood cancer but affects diverse kinds of blood cells.

And within each of those types, there are even more distinct subtypes. For example, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) are both types of leukemia, but they get different attributes and treatments.
