Multidisciplinary Care
The diagnosis and treatment of your blood cancer often require the skills of many specialists. We bring together these specialists in a single setting (called multidisciplinary care). Here the team discusses care for each patient and develops a thorough treatment program. This provides you with the best cancer treatment plan possible.
Our approach to evaluation and treatment and our wide variety of support services ensure you receive the best cancer care.
