Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Hematology & Oncology hematologist do?

A Hematology & Oncology hematologist is a Hematology physician with focused training in the diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers and serious blood disorders. After completing Hematology residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general hematologist typically handles day to day.

What conditions does a Hematology & Oncology hematologist treat?

A Hematology & Oncology hematologist commonly treats leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and anemia and clotting disorders. Many also see closely related conditions within Hematology, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general hematologist.

When should I see a Hematology & Oncology hematologist?

Consider seeing a Hematology & Oncology hematologist when you have abnormal blood counts, an unexplained mass, or a diagnosis like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma, when a primary care clinician or general hematologist suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Hematology & Oncology hematologist through referral, but you can also seek one directly.

How is a Hematology & Oncology hematologist different from a general hematologist?

Both are board-eligible hematologists, but a Hematology & Oncology hematologist has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers and serious blood disorders. General hematologists treat a broad range of Hematology concerns; Hematology & Oncology hematologists concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and anemia and clotting disorders.
