Topic Introduction: Leukemias and lymphomas for non-oncologists
Hematological malignancies like Leukemias and Lymphomas are diseases that are solely and predominantly managed by oncologists. However it is important for the non-oncologists to consider and initiate the early workup at initial presentation until the diagnosis is confirmed. Furthermore these patients often have or later develop non-oncological medical issues for which they follow with their primary physicians. Thus it is important for the physicians to have a reasonable understanding of the diagnostic and management issues that surround these patients for a smooth and effective care.
