Care and Treatment of Leukemia and Blood Cancers

Treatment for Leukemia

Offering state-of-the-art chemotherapy protocols for leukemia and other hematologic malignancies, as well as working seamlessly with Stanford's highly-acclaimed Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, the Hematology Program strives to assure the best possible outcome for patients. Our goal is to improve the survival and quality of life of patients, and Stanford hematologists were instrumental in the development of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for the management of hematologic malignancies.

Treatment options

  • State-of-the-art surgical techniques to address metastatic tumors
  • Advanced minimally invasive surgery, including use of robotics to enhance complex procedures, minimize patient stays, and speed recovery times
  • Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT), which delivers high-dose radiation directly to a patient's tumor site during surgery
  • New and investigational treatments, including PARP inhibitors, immunotherapies such as dendritic cell therapy, and ovarian cancer vaccines
  • Fertility-conserving surgery and advanced assisted reproductive technology to help maximize your childbearing options

Blood and bone marrow transplant

A specialized therapy to transfer healthy bone marrow cells into a patient after their own unhealthy bone marrow has been eliminated.

Chemotherapy

The use of anticancer drugs to shrink or kill cancerous cells and reduce cancer spreading to other parts of the body.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy (also called biological therapy, biological response modifier therapy, or biotherapy) is designed to boost the body's immune system in order to fight cancer. The cells, antibodies, and organs of the immune system work to protect and defend the body against foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. Doctors and researchers have found that the immune system might also be able to both determine the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells in the body, and to eliminate the cancer cells.

Radiation therapy

The use of high-energy radiation to kill or shrink cancer cells, tumors, and non-cancerous diseases.

Stem cell transplant for cancers

A method of replacing blood-forming cells destroyed by cancer treatment to help the bone marrow recover and continue to make healthy blood cells.

Partnering for Excellence
The Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Network is part of the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Care Institute, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.
