Get to Know Your Care Team
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
Malignant Hematology
Malignant hematologists are doctors that diagnose and treat blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system cancers. They provide such treatments as chemotherapy, blood transfusion, immunotherapy and bone marrow transplants.
Radiation Oncology
In treating ALL and AML, radiation oncologists may use high-energy radiation in preparation for stem cell transplant (total body irradiation), treating disease that has spread to the brain/spinal cord and shrinking myeloid sarcomas.
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), Myeloproliferative Disorders and Mast Cell Disease
Malignant Hematology
Malignant hematologists are doctors that diagnose and treat blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system cancers. They provide such treatments as chemotherapy, blood transfusion, immunotherapy and bone marrow transplants.
Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncologists at UH Seidman Cancer Center may use high-energy radiation in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), myeloproliferative disorders and mast cell disease.
Allogeneic Transplant and CAR T-cell Therapy for Leukemia
An allogeneic transplant uses stem cells from a family member or an unrelated donor to replace leukemia cells in the bone marrow.
CAR T-cell therapy takes white blood cells, called T-cells, from a patient’s blood and modifies them in a lab so that they recognize and destroy leukemia and other cancer cells.
