As part of the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, the OHSU Center for Hematologic Malignancies treats blood cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myleodysplasia. We offer a wide range of treatment options, such as bone marrow transplants and participation in clinical trials. Our areas of emphasis include stem cell transplantation and chronic myelogenous leukemia.
We also treat blood disorders that are not cancer, such as coagulation disorders, hemophilia, sickle cell disease and bone marrow failure syndromes.
