Department of Hematology
Specialized in: hematology About the Department of Hematology at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
The Department of Hematology at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center provides highly qualified care to patients suffering from various blood diseases, including malignant hematological diseases. The treatment of malignant diseases of the hematopoietic system is based on the use of various schemes of intensive chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. If desired, the patients can be treated within the clinical trials. As a rule, this option is offered to the patients who do not have positive dynamics due to the application of classical treatment methods. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Irit Avivi.
Of particular interest to the department's specialists is the treatment of acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as well as benign blood diseases (anemia and blood-clotting disorders). The department provides both inpatient and outpatient treatment. The inpatient treatment is mainly recommended for patients with malignant blood diseases who require intensive chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant. Such pathologies include acute leukemias (AML and ALL), aggressive lymphomas, Hodgkin disease and multiple myeloma. The treatment methods for these diseases can be the very latest types of chemotherapy, experimental chemotherapy for patients with resistant types of cancer and bone marrow transplant (autologous or allogeneic).
Most patients are treated in single rooms, which are equipped with HEPA filters for air filtration and reduction of the frequency of infections, as well as in the Intensive Care Unit.
The multidisciplinary medical team of the department consists of hematologists, transplantologists, nurses, specialists in infections, nutritionists, psychologists, music therapists and social workers. They all work for the benefit of their patients in order to provide high quality medical care and achieve optimal treatment results. The nursing staff is also highly professional and constantly undergoes advanced training courses.
