The department of Hematology•Oncology of Daegu Catholic University Medical Center is in charge of the diagnosis and treatment of various malignant tumor diseases (acute leukemia and solid cancers, including lung, stomach, colon cancers, and blood cancer including lymphoma) and other various blood diseases (anemia, bone marrow proliferation, and hemorrhagic disorders).
Hematology-Oncology has the latest diagnosis, treatment facilities, and operating systems with professional medical staff with extensive clinical experience and expertise to ensure full care in this field.For the complete recovery of cancer, it is essential to choose the best treatment for the patient considering the type and stage of the tumor, and the general health condition of the patient. For this, it is essential to have close cooperation between HematologyㆍOncology, Surgery, and Radiation Oncology departments. Besides, we treat and counsel patients who cannot be wholly cured to minimize discomfort and pain for the rest of their lives, taking the opinions of patients and their families into consideration.
The active implementation of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (previously called bone marrow transplantation) has increased opportunities to cure hematologic malignancy and some solid cancers. We have an aseptic ward and a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation center with the latest facilities. We have been successful in transplanting autologous stem cell transplantation as well as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between different persons and siblings. Also, we are actively participating in academic activities by carrying out researches on better cancer treatment academically and doing our best to cure cancer patients by participating in various clinical trials.
