Hematology

Hematology is the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas are among the most common blood cancer malignancies. Hematology includes cancers of the bone marrow, the blood itself, and the lymphatic system; which includes lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, lymphoid tissue of the digestive tract, tonsils, thymus gland, and spleen. Fortunately, treatment for hematologic issues is emerging. The use of the targeted therapies, immunotherapies and precision medicine has offered and delivered great hope to patients. At Cancer Care Specialists we collaborate directly with multiple academic centers who help ensure that we are delivering up to date and top-notch care to the patients in our communities.
