Systemic Disease

A disease that affects the whole body. Leukaemias and lymphomas are systemic diseases because the blood system and the lymphatic system are all over the body. Systemic diseases are treated with treatments that cover the whole body such as chemotherapy, rather than local treatments such as surgery.
