Yes, AIHA can occur simultaneously with various blood cancers. A myAIHAteam member shared that their spouse was diagnosed with AIHA alongside "aggressive lymphoma." This type of dual diagnosis is not uncommon.

Here are the most common blood cancers that can occur with AIHA:
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (occurs in 2-3% of cases)
• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
• Multiple myeloma
• Waldenström macroglobulinemia The relationship between AIHA and cancer can vary:
• Some people develop AIHA before being diagnosed with cancer
• In other cases, AIHA appears after a cancer diagnosis
• When cancer is successfully treated, AIHA symptoms often improve
• Some cancer treatments may increase AIHA risk, though this is rare

If you're experiencing symptoms or concerns, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare team, as they can determine the best treatment approach for managing both conditions.
