The area of hematologic malignancies is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the bone marrow, blood and lymph nodes. Myeloma is one type of hematologic malignancy, along with leukemia and lymphoma. Other disorders treated by a hematologist include arterial thromboembolism, deep-vei...
Recent studies have indicated that PlGF is a relevant factor in the pathobiology of blood diseases including hemoglobinopathies and hematologic malignancies. Therapies for such blood diseases may one day be based upon these and ongoing investigations into the role of PlGF in sickle cell disease, ...
Hematuria can also be associated with renal (kidney) disease, as well as hematologic disorders involving the body's clotting system. Medications that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), or clopidogrel (Plavix), may also lead to bloody urine. Cancer anywhere along...

Autologous stem cell transplantation, which involves removing stem cells from a patient, giving chemotherapy, then returning the stem cells to the patient, is an option for some patients. After intensive therapy, most patients with multiple myeloma take low-dose chemotherapy to keep the disease ...
aDifferentiating metastatic disease from hematologic diseases, such as lymphoma and leukemia, becomes difficult if the lesions exhibit high signal intensity. In contrast, when the lesions exhibit low signal intensity, a misdiagnosis such as adenomyosis can result. 由血液学的疾病区分转移性的疾病,例如...

supporting patients in their recovery journey,” saidDr. Claire Yun Kyoung Ryu Tiger,amedical oncologist in the Leukemia/Lymphoma/Hematologic Malignancies Program at Rutgers Cancer Institute. “Knowing the distinctions of each type of blood cancer is vital for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment....
The increasing recognition of the importance of germline predisposition in various hematologic malignancies also shapes the disease models and management. Although germline predisposition variants can occur in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/neoplasm (MDS) of all ages, the frequency is highest in the...
It is a progressive hematologic disease. Basically, it is a cancer of the plasma cell, an important part of the immune system that produces immunoglobulins or antibodies. These antibodies help fight infection and disease. Multiple myeloma is characterized by excessive numbers of abnormal plasma cells...
