Hematologic cancers are those cancers that occur in cells of the immune system or in blood-forming tissues, including bone marrow. As a pioneer in advancing care for all hematologic cancers and related blood disorders, City of Hope®'s Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation leads the field as one of the largest and most successful transplant centers in the United States.
