Hematology

Blood and bone marrow diseases are complex processes that directly affect the body’s fundamental defense and life mechanisms. At MN Medical International Hematology Department, we provide life-saving interventions using the most up-to-date scientific protocols across a wide spectrum, from leukemia and lymphoma to bone marrow failure and stem cell transplantation.

What is Hematology? The Power of Blood Science

Hematology is the branch of science that examines diseases of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) and the organs that produce these cells (bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes). Modern hematology does not only diagnose; it ensures the complete recovery of many chronic diseases through treatment options offered at the cellular level (Stem Cell).

Our Areas of Expertise and Treated Diseases

In our hematology clinic, the primary diseases followed with a multidisciplinary approach include:

• Leukemias (Blood Cancers): Treatment of acute and chronic leukemia types with modern chemotherapy and targeted drugs.

• Lymphomas: Advanced treatment protocols for types of cancer originating from the lymph nodes.

• Multiple Myeloma: The most current treatment approaches for diseases affecting bone marrow cells.

• Anemias and Bleeding Disorders: Mediterranean anemia (Thalassemia), coagulation issues, and blood diseases stemming from the immune system.

Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplantation

The Stem Cell Unit, one of our center’s strongest areas, offers our patients “cellular therapy” opportunities.

1. The Bone Marrow Transplant Process

This is the process of replacing damaged cells with healthy stem cells in cases of bone marrow failure or severe blood cancer. In this process:

• Autologous Transplant: Collecting and storing the patient’s own healthy stem cells and returning them after treatment.
• Allogeneic Transplant: Transplants performed from fully compatible siblings or tissue-matched unrelated donors.

2. Stem Cell Stimulation

Aims to maximize tissue repair and blood cell production through advanced stimulation methods that increase the regeneration capacity of cells.

Hematological Diagnosis and Technology at MN Medical

We utilize our advanced laboratory infrastructure to eliminate the margin of error in the diagnosis process:

• Flow Cytometry: Determining cell characteristics at the molecular level.

• Genetic Analysis: Genetic mapping that determines the course of the disease.

• Apheresis Unit: Safe separation and collection of blood components.
