Hematology Q & A

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 can I expect from my first hematology appointment?

The first visit with a hematologist can be stressful and overwhelming, so the experienced team at Coastal Cancer Center recommend bringing a friend or family member for support during your first 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

During your treatment, your hematologist works closely with you to create a relationship built on trust and open dialogue. This commitment ensures you completely understand your diagnosis, treatment plan, and feel comfortable raising any concerns about your therapy.
