Haematology

Haematology

Haematology deals with the diseases of the blood, bone marrow and the lymph nodes. It includes cancers like leukemia, a type of blood cancer; lymphoma, cancer affecting the lymph glands and myeloma, cancer of the immune cells. Non cancer diseases of the blood include bone marrow failure (Aplastic anaemia), anaemia due to inherited disorders like thalassaemia, sickle cell anaemia and bleeding disorders like hemophilia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It is a branch in which molecular medicine is applied in the day to day practice. Bone marrow transplantation is a lifesaving treatment for many of the hematological disorders and solid tumors.
