Hemato-oncology, also known as hematologic oncology, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines aspects of hematology (the study of blood disorders) and oncology (the study of cancer). Hemato-oncology deals with hematologic malignancies, which include various types of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Some of the major aspects of hemato-oncology are diagnosis, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. There are numerous procedures which are used for the diagnosis of blood related cancers such as bone marrow biopsies, blood tests, genetic testing, imaging studies, and lymph node biopsies. They can be treated through chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, or a combination of these approaches. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to hemato-oncology. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
