Hematology is the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases that affect the production of blood and its components. Hematology is a subspecialty of internal medicine that is separate from but does overlap with medical oncology. At Michigan Hematology Oncology, we treat patients with a wide variety of blood disorders including anemias, increases and decreases in cell counts, hematological malignancies such as lymphoma and leukemias, and coagulopathies among others. Our treatment plans may include chemotherapy, various pharmacological therapies, nutritional counseling, anticoagulation therapy, transfusions, radiation and bone marrow transplants. Many times, a combination of these treatment therapies are used.

Cancer research is a constantly evolving field, with new drugs and treatments being discovered and tested for their effectiveness in fighting cancer. During clinical trials, specific treatments are carefully analyzed for their effect on a specific cancer, as well as their safety of use in an effort to establish new, effective treatments. Michigan Hematology Oncology is dedicated to finding new and more effective treatments for cancer through clinical research. Our patients can benefit from clinical trials of state of the art cancer treatments. MHO participates in a variety of clinical trials offered through the National Cancer Institute, the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) and pharmaceutical companies.

At Michigan Hematology Oncology, we are dedicated to promoting the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of our patients, their families and caregivers.

He observed that when other resources such as education, community support, a plan of action and integrative medicine options were available, patients found it easier to face the challenges that come with any cancer. In partnership, Michigan Hematology Oncology and the Swan for Life Cancer Foundation are proud to offer all cancer patients the following Wellness services:
