About this specialty
Hematology covers acute and chronic leukaemias, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, bone marrow disorders and benign haematological disease, along with diagnostic procedures such as bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture. Paediatric haematology and oncology are also covered.
Diagnosis in haematology rests on the reading of slides, immunophenotyping and molecular studies — a reading that varies between laboratories and determines the entire treatment pathway. Our consultants review biopsy reports and laboratory results before a long or costly treatment begins, and explain whether the current classification holds.
