Hematology Expertise to Treat Blood Diseases

Cancer of the blood includes different forms of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. If you are experiencing extreme fatigue, a chronic cough, swollen abdomen, enlarged lymph node, and other distressing symptoms, see your doctor.

Our hematologists are also medical oncologists. These specialists analyze the health of your blood and bone marrow in respects to your total health. They have the knowledge and experience to treat all blood cancers, as well as other blood disorders, such as anemia and blood clotting issues. Induction therapy for leukemia patients is one of our specialties.

What makes us different? Three things.

1. You always see the attending cancer care doctor, not a resident.
2. We work as cancer care team for the collective benefit of your long-term health.
3. Nurse navigators, dietitians, rehab therapists (physical therapists), social workers, and palliative care specialists are an integral part of our family-centered cancer care programs.

At Ascension, our medical oncology and hematology services include blood testing, lymph node biopsy, bone marrow aspiration, and a variety of treatment options. Chemotherapy comes as either oral medicine or as IV infusion therapy. Our doctors, nurses and pharmacists provide day-by- day education to help you with all aspects of disease management. We also offer the targeted radiation therapies for lymphoma and myeloma if indicated.
