Systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc., are recommended as treatment approaches for blood malignancies. Our doctors also recommend CAR T-cell therapies for certain blood cancer cases.
Our specialists are also well-versed in performing supportive procedures like bone marrow biopsy and aspiration, stem cell harvesting, graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) management, blood and platelet transfusion, and infection prophylaxis and management in patients who have received stem cell transfusions.

Beyond cancer, the department is also experienced in treating life-threatening non-malignant blood and immune disorders:
Given immunocompromised patients' high sensitivity to infection during high-dose chemotherapy and transplantation, the transplant facility incorporates HEPA-filtered, positive-pressure isolation chambers.
A cutting-edge stem cell processing and cryopreservation lab supports all transplants. The facility processes, tests, and stores grafts according to tight protocols to ensure stem cell viability.
Advanced hematology diagnostics, including flow cytometry, cytogenetics, molecular diagnostics (PCR, FISH), and NGS enable precise disease diagnosis and therapy monitoring in the department.
Patients and matching donors can harvest peripheral blood stem cells, exchange plasma, and undertake further cell-separation procedures in the dedicated apheresis unit.
Oncology pharmacy, clinical nutrition, palliative care, psycho-oncology, and rehabilitation provide complete care during therapy.
