Frequently Asked Questions

Haematologists are experts in looking after patients with disorders which involve the blood or blood forming organs. This includes patients with clotting or bleeding problems, thalassemia & other haemoglobin disorders, and cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. We also manage patients who require transfusion of blood or other blood products.

Medical oncologists are experts in looking after patients with cancer and are often the main health care provider for someone who has cancer. Usually, a medical oncologist manages a person’s care and treatment once he or she is diagnosed with cancer. In addition to administering chemotherapy and targeted therapies, they provide supportive care and may coordinate treatment given by other specialists.
