Treatment for blood cancer
Blood cancers are commonly known as leukemias and lymphomas. They are categorized by the types of blood cells in which they originate (myeloid or lymphoid) and whether they're located in the blood (leukemia) or lymph nodes (lymphoma). These cancers can take many forms and often connect to each other through the body's immune system.
Depending on your condition and type of blood cancer, your treatment options may include:
- Biotherapy
- Blood transfusion
- Bone marrow transplant
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
Our team may also monitor you closely during a watchful waiting period. This enables time to pass before medical intervention or therapy is used.
Through our dedicated oncology program, we give you access to:
- Cancer clinical trials
- Cancer rehabilitation
- Cancer support groups
- Infusion therapies
- Nutritional guidance
- Surgical oncology procedures
