Dept. of Hemato Oncology
About
Hemato-oncology is the branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats cancers of the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system, along with related blood disorders. These conditions begin in the cells that make and carry blood, so they are often found through blood tests and bone marrow examination rather than a lump or scan alone.
The Department of Hemato-Oncology at Medipulse Hospital is known for its superior patient care and clinical outcomes for the patients of Jodhpur and Western Rajasthan. Haematologists and oncologists work together with pathologists and the critical care team to decide on treatment and deliver it. Many blood cancers respond well to treatment when they are diagnosed early, so prompt evaluation of unexplained symptoms matters.Conditions we treat

Hemato Oncology FAQ
-
A haematologist specialises in diseases of the blood and bone marrow, both cancerous and non-cancerous. An oncologist treats cancer in any part of the body. A hemato-oncologist is trained in both and treats blood cancers.
-
Persistent tiredness, repeated infections, easy bruising or bleeding, unexplained fever, weight loss, drenching night sweats and painless swelling in the neck, armpit or groin can all be signs. These also occur in many harmless conditions, so a blood test and a consultation are the way to find out.
-
Bone marrow is where blood cells are made. A small sample of it lets the doctor confirm a diagnosis, identify the exact type of disease and later check how well treatment is working. It is done as an OPD procedure.
-
Outcomes depend on the type of disease, its stage and the patient’s overall health. Many blood cancers can be controlled for long periods, and some can be cured, especially when found early. Your hemato-oncologist can explain what to expect in your case.
-
Being a complex treatment, chemotherapy can bring certain side-effects. It is best to discuss these with your doctor, who can also plan supportive care to manage them.
