Understanding Leukemia and Lymphoma: Tailored Blood Cancer Treatment

Leukemia and lymphoma may be considered “relatives” in the blood cancer family, but they have distinct characteristics. Both impact white blood cells, but in different ways. Leukemia is a liquid cancer affecting the bloodstream, while lymphomas form solid tumors within the lymphatic system.

At Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute’s Lymphoma Multidisciplinary Center, we specialize in treating both Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. We understand the specific white blood cells impacted by each type and tailor treatment plans accordingly.

Decades of experience guide our comprehensive approach to lymphoma/leukemia. Our team leverages a combination of proven treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and potentially stem cell transplantation.
