UVA Cancer Center has a team of dedicated physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of non-cancerous (benign) blood disorders, including those that are secondary to hematologic or other cancers. Our hematopathologists are experts in identifying rare and complex diseases of the blood, and our benign hematology physicians and nurses offer superior care for patients in whom blood disorders have been diagnosed.Dramatic advances have been made in recent years for most hematological cancers because of research. Novel targeted therapies, which complement or replace traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments, are now routine for many hematological malignancies.Listen as Karen Ballen, MD discusses Hematologic malignancies and stem cell transplantation at The UVA Cancer Center.
