Hematology

Comprehensive, data-driven testing

For families with children affected by hematological conditions, including potentially life-threatening hematological cancers, quick access to accurate information about the disease is crucial to identifying the cause and understanding the best treatment approach.

Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ integration with the pediatric hematology practice at Mayo Clinic and ongoing collaboration with hematologists, hematopathologists, genetic counselors, and laboratory testing specialists propels the development of patient-focused evaluations optimized to identify the most common and severe pediatric hematology disorders.

Our comprehensive hematology test menu aids in diagnosis and treatment selection across a wide range of complex hematologic disorders. Our internally developed and validated practice-based algorithms improve patient care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.

Lymphomas are among the most complex diseases to recognize and diagnose because they are pathologically complex, with features that overlap with reactive/inflammatory conditions and other nonhematologic malignancies.
