Norton Cancer Institute routinely sees patients who have noncancerous hematology problems, such as anemia, white blood cell or platelet disorders, and sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Norton Cancer Institute specialists are board certi\ufb01ed to treat cancer and hematology issues. They have completed a combined three-year fellowship to earn the option for dual certification. Others may have specialized training only in benign and cancerous disorders of the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe two \ufb01elds often overlap. Together, our experts in these subspecialties give us a powerful way to tackle cancer and noncancerous blood disorders in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary way,\u201d said Joseph M. Flynn, D.O., MPH, FACP, chief administrative officer, Norton Medical group; and physician-in-chief, Norton Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hematology disorders affect how blood is produced and how it works. Such changes often cause unusually low or high blood cell counts. They can also prevent blood cells from forming properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Norton Children\u2019s Cancer Institute is home to Kentucky\u2019s only pediatric hematology program<\/a> and the largest pediatric coagulation (clotting) center in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n
