Some specific hematology-related issues that we treat are:

• Myelodysplastic syndromes: Disorders caused by something disrupting the production of blood cells
• Myelofibrosis: A bone marrow disorder that disrupts the body’s normal production of blood cells
• Myeloproliferative disorders: Slow-growing blood cancers
• NK-cell leukemia: A rare form of leukemia
• Neuroblastoma: A type of cancer that forms in nerve tissue
• Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: Cancers that start in the lymphatic system
• Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: A very rare blood disease that breaks apart red blood cells
• Sarcoma: A tumor that affects connective tissue
• Polycythemia vera: A slow-growing blood cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many blood cells
• Sickle cell anemia: An inherited form of anemia in which red blood cells become misshapen and break down
• Systemic capillary leak syndrome: A condition in which fluid and proteins leak out of blood vessels and into surrounding tissues
• Systemic mastocytosis: A disorder that causes an excessive number of mast cells in the body
• Thalassemia: An inherited blood disorder in which the body doesn’t make enough oxygen-carrying proteins
• Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count): A condition caused by low amounts of the blood cells that help blood clot
• Acute lymphocytic leukemia: The most common childhood cancer; a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects white blood cells
• Acute myelogenous leukemia: Cancer of the white blood cells
• Amyloidosis: The buildup of abnormal proteins in the liver, heart, kidneys or other organs
• Anemia: A condition in which the blood doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells, usually resulting in fatigue and other symptoms
• Aplastic anemia: A rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells
• Autoimmune hemolytic anemias: A type of anemia that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys red blood cells
• Autoimmune thrombocytopenia: A condition caused by low levels of platelets (the blood cells that prevent bleeding)
• Benign hematologic conditions: Common blood disorders
• C1-esterase inhibitor deficiency: Results in angioedema (swelling), often in the respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts
• Castleman disease: A rare disease of the lymph nodes and related tissues
• Chronic lymphocytic, myelogenous and myelomonocytic leukemia: Diseases of the blood and bone marrow that typically get worse over time
• Cryoglobulinemia: A disease caused by an abundance of a protein that clusters the blood
• Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: A cancer that attacks the skin
• Essential thrombocythemia: A rare disorder that causes an excessive amount of platelets
• Hairy cell leukemia: A blood cancer that causes an excess of white blood cells
• Hemoglobinopathies: Blood disorders that affect red blood cells
• Hemophilia: A disorder in which blood doesn’t clot properly
• Hereditary hemolytic anemias: Anemia caused by the destruction – rather than the underproduction – of red blood cells
• Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin’s disease): Cancer of the part of the immune system called the lymphatic system
• Hypereosinophilic syndrome: A group of conditions resulting in high numbers of disease-fighting white blood cells
• Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP): A disorder that can lead to excessive bruising or bleeding
• Iron-deficiency anemia
• Large granular lymphocyte disorders: Chronic leukemia affecting white blood cells
• Lymphoma: Cancer of the lymphatic system
• Macroglobulinemia: A condition caused by an excess of a certain type of protein in the blood
• Multiple myeloma: Cancer that forms in plasma white blood cells
• Myasthenia gravis: Weakness and fatigue of the muscles under one’s voluntary control
• Thrombocytosis: A condition caused by high platelet counts in the blood
• Vitamin-deficiency anemia
• White blood cell disorders
