Hematologic Diseases

At the University of Wisconsin Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center, physicians and support staff see nearly 500 new patients a year with hematologic disorders such as: 

Patients are seen by our team of hematologic oncologists, radiation oncologists and our highly skilled supportive care team of hematologic nurses, health psychologists, social workers and nutritionists. 

 

Prognosis and treatment options are influenced by the pathology or type of the tissue and cells found during a biopsy. Pathologic review is crucial in defining the type of disease and thus determining the best treatment.  At the Carbone Cancer Center, we have pathologists devoted to the pathologic diagnosis of hematologic diseases.

 

Patients may be offered a variety of services and treatment options, including chemotherapy, bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow transplant, radiation therapy and management of tumor-related side effects.
