Hematology oncology combines two fields of medicine: hematology, which is the study of the blood, and oncology, the study and treatment of cancer.

Hematologic oncologists are trained in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of blood cancers and blood-related disorders. The hematologic oncologists at City of Hope have access to a wide range of diagnostic tools, such as imaging and laboratory tests, and provide sophisticated therapies for patients with cancerous hematologic diseases, including:

• Leukemia
• Multiple myeloma
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
• Hodgkin lymphoma
