Hematology at Cameron Regional Medical Center

What is Hematology?

Hematology is the branch of medicine that deals with blood disorders, including conditions affecting blood cells, blood clotting, and the lymphatic system. Hematologists diagnose and treat a wide range of blood diseases, from common issues like anemia to more serious conditions such as leukemia and lymphoma. They play a key role in managing conditions that impact the production and function of blood cells, and often collaborate with oncologists when blood cancers are involved.

Common Conditions Treated

• Anemia: A condition where the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen.
• Leukemia: Cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
• Lymphoma: Cancer of the lymphatic system.
• Hemophilia: A bleeding disorder where blood does not clot properly.
• Sickle Cell Disease: A genetic condition that affects the shape and function of red blood cells.
