Understanding Hematologic Malignancies
Hematologic malignancies are cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. This category includes leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas. These conditions affect the production and function of blood cells, leading to various symptoms. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving hematologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists to provide comprehensive cancer care.
