Hematology (non-malignant)

The hematology treatment centers provide evaluation and treatment for patients with all non-malignant (non-cancerous) disorders of the blood and bone marrow. These include disorders of red blood cells and iron metabolism; porphyria; disorders of white blood cells, platelets, and plasma cells; disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis; and problems related to anticoagulation. Patients have access to transfusion-support services that offer episodic and routine blood product infusions and apheresis procedures. The hematology treatment centers have specialized services for patients with inherited diseases such as sickle cell disease, related hemoglobinopathies, and Gaucher's disease. Patients have access to routine comprehensive care or investigational diagnostic and treatment approaches.

The centers' clinical staff is supported by a team of hematopathologists and specialists in molecular medicine, transfusion medicine, and nuclear medicine. In addition, they have access to clinical laboratories offering a wide array of specialized tests necessary for the proper diagnosis and management of blood disorders.
