The body contains several different kinds of blood cells, including white blood cells (leukocytes), red blood cells and platelets. Blood disorders include anything that affects the various blood cells, including their shape, size, function. Sometimes bone problems can affect blood cells, since bone marrow is responsible for creating new blood cells. The treatment of blood disorders is also called Hematology.

Cancer occurs when cells in the body begin to grow too fast, to grow incorrectly, or attack healthy cells nearby. Our cancer physicians are all board-certified in pediatric hematology-oncology.
