Integrated Care for Noncancerous Blood Disorders
Your Cancer Team
Our multidisciplinary team conducts a comprehensive evaluation of your test results and considers any other health issues you may have when diagnosing and choosing the best treatment plan. Many blood disorders are related to primary medical problems such as kidney disease, liver disease, or autoimmune disorders. In such cases, we collaborate with specialists at Hackensack University Medical Center who are experts in managing these conditions.
Referral to Stem Cell Transplantation
For patients with noncancerous blood disorders that cannot be treated with medications or transfusions, stem cell transplantation may be a lifesaving option. Our Adult Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation Program at John Theurer Cancer Center has been providing this therapy for over 25 years. With more than 6,000 transplants since 1990 and over 400 annually, we are one of the most experienced transplantation programs in the United States.
