Hematology
an experienced team with a proven track record
With You Every Step of The Way
When you’re facing a cancer diagnosis, you want an experienced hematology team with a proven track record.
What is hematology?
Hematology is a specialized medical focus devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood diseases. These disorders include both cancerous and noncancerous conditions affecting all aspects of your blood, including:
- Red and white blood cells
- Platelets
- Bone marrow
- The organs producing blood components, like the spleen
This distinct specialty is closely associated with oncology, which focuses on cancer.
What conditions do hematologists treat?
Hematologists specialize in managing a wide range of conditions, such as:
- Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders
- Lymphoma, leukemia, and other blood cancers
- Conditions requiring stem cell or bone marrow treatments
Having to see a hematologist doesn’t mean you have cancer.
What kind of services do hematologists offer?
Services Offered
- Expert diagnostic imaging, including CT and PET scans, X-rays, bone scans, bone marrow tests, and bone density testing
- Laboratory services with the most advanced chemistry testing, tumor markers, complete blood counts (CBCs), blood disorder testing, and iron tests
- Symptom management not only treats your condition but also controls symptoms such as pain
- Education regarding your diagnosis and customized approaches to treatment
What can I expect from my first hematology appointment?
Your first hematology appointment might include
- A comprehensive physical exam
- Additional diagnostic screenings to help guide your treatment plan
- Discussions with specialists working with your care team
- Talking with a financial counselor about costs associated with your treatment and insurance coverage
- Meeting your support service team, like patient navigators and pharmacists
