What Is Hematology

Other Hematology Procedures

Hematologists are often involved in many procedures, treatments, and therapies associated with bone marrow and blood. These include immunotherapy, growth factor treatments, biological therapies, chemotherapy, stem cell donations, bone marrow transplants, blood transfusions, and ablation therapy. Since blood issues could affect nearly all body parts, hematologists often collaborate with other doctors and medical specialists, particularly oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and internists. Hematologists can treat both children and adults. They might work in lab settings, clinics, or hospitals. [6]
