What is Hematology Oncology?

Hematologic (blood) cancers and blood-related conditions are different from other types of cancer as they are caused by mutations in the blood cells rather than forming tumors. Hematology Oncology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these conditions, including leukemia, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
