A hematologist-oncologist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention of blood diseases and cancers such as iron-deficiency anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia and lymphoma. This physician is trained in hematology — the study of blood — and oncology — the study of cancer.
Hematologist-oncologists don't usually treat operable cancers like prostatic adenocarcinoma , but concentrate on treating blood cancers, like Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphomas, leukemias and multiple myelomas. A hematologist-oncologist can also concentrate on the management of solid tumors.
Some hematologist-oncologists may convert to the sector of somatic cell transplantation. A stem cell transplant consists of the infusion of healthy stem cells into a patient’s body that does not produce enough healthy stem cells. This type of procedure, also dubbed a bone marrow transplant, decreases the risk for serious infections, anemia and bleeding.
Hematologist-oncologists often work closely with colleagues from other departments including: radiation-oncology, surgery, radiology and pathology. Other associated specialties include communicable disease , pain medicine and psychology.
