Hematologists Specializing in Blood Cancers & Disorders
At NYOH, many of our physicians are dually certified in both medical oncology and hematology. Our team of hematologists also works closely with physicians both inside and outside our practice, including radiation oncology, internal medicine, family practice and surgery, ensuring continuity of care for the patient. If you have received a diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma or another blood condition request an appointment with our team specializing in malignant and benign blood conditions.
Latest Treatments for Leukemia, Lymphomas & Myelomas
The most advanced treatments for cancers of the blood are available through New York Oncology Hematology including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and clinical research focused on the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that begins in cells of the immune system. Hodgkin lymphoma can start almost anywhere. Usually, it's first found in a lymph node above the diaphragm, the thin muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma begins when a lymphocyte (usually a B cell) becomes abnormal. Because lymphatic tissue is in many parts of the body, Hodgkin lymphoma can start almost anywhere. Usually, it's first found in a lymph node.
Leukemia is cancer that starts in the tissues that forms blood. The types of leukemia can be grouped based on how quickly the disease develops and gets worse.
Myeloma begins when a plasma cell becomes abnormal. The abnormal cell divides to make copies of itself. The new cells divide again and again, making more and more abnormal cells.
