Hematology & Medical Oncology

About hematology and medical oncology

Hematologists focus on the diagnosis and treatment of blood and bone marrow disorders. These include cancer. Treatments may include chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, or stem cell transplant.

The types of disorders that involve the blood and bone marrow include:

• Leukemia
• Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s
• Lymphoma
• Multiple myeloma
• Anemias, including sickle cell
• Myelodysplastic syndrome

Medical oncologists treat many types of cancer with medications, not surgery. Chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and biological therapy are just a few.
