Patient Care and Treatment
The Multidisciplinary Lymphoma Clinic at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center provides diagnosis and treatment to patients with newly-diagnosed and recurrent lymphoma. Our clinic follows a team approach to care. Patients have their situation discussed not only by our hematologist oncologists, but also by radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, registered nurses and social workers. By having everyone involved, a personalized treatment plan is developed. In most cases, this discussion happens the same day as the appointment.Bone Marrow Transplant
For some of our lymphoma patients, it may be advisable to undergo a bone marrow transplant. In this case, care of the patient is shared with our
Bone Marrow Transplant Program. This program is world-renown for its multidisciplinary effort and
dedication to our survivorship and chronic GVHD clinic and programs.
