Hematologic Malignancies
Winning Against Hematologic Malignancies
For more than a decade, Hoag Family Cancer Institute has been the leader in
Orange County in advancing the treatment of adult patients suffering
from the various hematologic malignancies, including acute leukemias
(myeloid and lymphoid), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Hodgkin’s Disease, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas
and multiple myeloma. Hoag physicians developed the first adult bone
marrow transplant program in the County, and introduced the blockbuster
treatment rituximab to the county in 1995, three years before it became
commercially available.
