Conditions We Treat
Simmons Cancer Center operates one of the leading programs in the nation for hematologic cancers, which include leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and myelodysplasia, and for advanced treatment through bone marrow transplantation.
Treatment Options
People fighting cancer who have placed their trust in us receive individualized personal attention and are closely followed throughout their diagnosis and treatment. Hematologic diseases are highly complex, and our physicians are experienced in determining a very specialized diagnosis of each patient's cancer subtype, and in performing the most complicated forms of transplantation.
Our program offers:
- For adults, a 13-bed inpatient unit at University Hospital-Zale Lipshy and a dedicated outpatient clinic at the Seay Biomedical Bldg.
- For children up to age 18, a five-bed inpatient unit and a dedicated outpatient clinic at Children's Medical Center in Dallas
- All state-of-the-art treatment approaches, including chemotherapy, radiation, stem cell transplantation, immunotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, and experimental therapy
- Comprehensive, integrated care, so that patients can see in one setting all of the cancer specialists involved in their care
Simmons Cancer Center also offers a clinical trials program that gives patients access to treatments unavailable at other medical centers, and often years before the therapies are available to the public.
To learn more about the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic diseases, spend some time in our Cancer Information library. If you have questions, be sure to talk with your physician or another member of your clinical care team.
