From your first visit through every stage of treatment and beyond, we walk alongside you with thoughtful guidance, leading-edge therapies and a steady presence you can rely on. Blood cancers affect the blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system, the parts of your body responsible for producing blood cells and supporting your immune system. When abnormal cells grow out of control, they can interfere with your body’s ability to fight infection, carry oxygen and control bleeding. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, considering next steps or continuing care, you will find a team here that’s committed not only to treating your condition, but to supporting you as a whole person.
Our approach
Conditions & treatments
Our hematology and oncology team provides expert care for a wide range of blood cancers and blood disorders.
We care for patients with:
- Acute and chronic leukemia
- Anemias
- Aplastic anemia
- Lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders
- Myelodysplasia and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)
- Myeloproliferative disorders
- Thrombocytopenia and coagulopathies
Leukemia care is a core focus of our program. We diagnose and treat both acute and chronic forms. Our team uses advanced blood testing, bone marrow evaluation and genetic profiling to better understand your disease and guide treatment decisions with greater precision.
Blood cancers and related disorders can affect how blood cells are produced and function throughout the body. Because these conditions are complex, specialized care and accurate diagnosis are essential to achieving the best possible outcomes.
We take time to understand your condition, your concerns and what matters most to you, then shape a care plan designed around your needs.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Bispecific monoclonal antibody therapies
- Bone marrow transplant
- CAR T-cell therapy
- Cellular therapy
- Chemotherapy and combination drug regimens
- Clinical trials
- FDA-approved immunotherapies
- Targeted therapies designed to attack specific cancer cells
For many patients with leukemia, treatment may be divided into phases. Doctors start with induction therapy to bring the disease under control, followed by consolidation or maintenance therapy to help prevent recurrence. Our team carefully monitors your response and adjusts your plan as needed, always keeping your long-term health and quality of life in focus.
Through the Mott Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program, you also have access to a dedicated bone marrow transplant unit for bone marrow and stem cell transplant care in one self-contained facility.
A diagnosis can affect more than your physical health. We provide guidance and support to help you navigate each phase of care with confidence, so you never feel alone in the process.
Our resources include:
- Cancer prevention and screenings to help you stay proactive about your health.
- Cancer survivorship program (THRIVE) to help you transition from treatment to active living
- Free legal clinic to provide guidance on documents like healthcare powers of attorney and living wills
- Healing Boutique offers products and services like wig fittings and comfort items
- Music therapy services to reduce anxiety and support emotional healing
- Smoking cessation program to provide the tools and support you need to quit tobacco
