-
leukaemia
cancer of the white blood cells
-
lymphoma

-
myeloma
cancer that develops from the plasma cells of the bone marrow
-
myeloproliferative disorders
conditions related to leukaemia in which some types of blood cell are over-produced by bone marrow
-
sickle cell and thalassaemia
inherited blood disorders that affect the body's ability to create red blood cells
-
autoimmune blood disorders

Clinical haematology services are based in an enlarged, purpose-built ward in the Oxford Cancer and Haematology Centre|.
Bone marrow transplant patients from a wide geographical area are treated at the Centre. Most patients in the new Centre have their own rooms during their treatment.
The Clinical Haematology Department has strong links with the Molecular Haematology Unit| and the Leukaemia Research Fund| and is actively pursuing the creation of a clinical trial unit.
Outpatient chemotherapy and transfusions are undertaken in the Day Treatment Unit in the Cancer and Haematology Centre and also the Brodey Centre at the Horton General Hospital|.
