Hematology

A hematologist may sometimes function as the lead physician (especially those who specialize in pediatric leukemia) or work as part of a team that can include, among other things, a radiologist, surgeon,  radiation-oncologist,  geneticist, and  rheumatologist (a specialist in autoimmune diseases).

 In addition to blood tests, a   hematologist may perform other   procedures:

​

  • Bone marrow aspiration is the extraction of the liquid part of the bone marrow to diagnose leukemia or lymphoma.

  • Bone marrow biopsy is the extraction of the solid core of bone marrow to aid in the diagnosis of leukemia and other cancers. 

  • Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a blood test used to confirm sickle cell disease or other inherited disorders affecting red blood cells.

  • Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) testing is a blood test used to determine if a bone marrow donor is a good match for a patient.
