Overview
Pediatric hematology is a branch of medicine that studies and treats blood-related disorders in children. It plays a critical role in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as anemia, genetic diseases, hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma and sickle cell disease. Treatment may include medications, transfusions, stem cell transplants, radiation and other therapies. Pediatric hematologists have the specialized knowledge needed to work with children to help them cope with the physical, psychological and social challenges associated with their condition. They also provide supportive care and education to families, helping them to better understand the nature of their child's condition and the options available for treatment and care.
