    What is a hematologist oncologist?           

    A hematologist oncologist is a board-certified physician who can diagnose and manage cancers that affect blood, bone marrow, or the lymphatic system. An “oncologist” is a doctor that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. A “hematologist” treats issues related to blood, bone marrow, or the lymphatic system.   

    Why am I being referred to a hematologist oncologist?     

    Patients are usually referred to a hematologist oncologist when their primary care physician (PCP) suspects they may have cancer. However, going to a hematology oncology appointment does not automatically mean a person has cancer. In some cases, PCPs make these referrals to rule out cancer.  

    How many kinds of blood cancers exist? 

    There are three main types of blood cancers: leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Leukemia affects blood and bone marrow, causing abnormal white blood cells. Lymphoma targets the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. Myeloma – also called multiple myeloma – affects plasma cells in bone marrow. Every type of blood cancer comes in many different variations, each with its own symptoms and treatment needs.

    How is blood cancer diagnosed?   

    According to Yale Medicine, doctors usually start with blood tests to check for unusual cells or changes in blood counts. If something seems wrong, they might do a bone marrow biopsy, where they take a small sample of bone marrow to look for cancer cells. They might also use imaging tests like computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see if the cancer has spread. These tests help doctors figure out the type and stage of cancer, which is important for deciding the best treatment plan. 

    What are the symptoms of blood cancer? 

    Symptoms of blood cancer may vary from person to person. They also happen at different levels of intensity. Common symptoms include: 

    • Fatigue 
    • Unexplained weight loss 
    • Frequent infections 
    • Easy bruising or bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds or bleeding gums) 
    • Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin 
    • Bone pain, especially in the back or ribs 
    • Night sweats 

    When should I see a Hematologist Oncologist near Elmhurst, NY?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Hematologist Oncologist near Elmhurst, NY?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Hematologist Oncologists near Elmhurst, NY?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Hematologist Oncologists near Elmhurst, NY?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Hematologist Oncologist in Elmhurst?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile.

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hematologist Oncologist?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.
