Overview
The Division of Hematology and Oncology specializes
in the area of cancer therapeutics, thrombosis and bleeding
disorders, and the clinical care of patients with hematologic
and oncologic disorders. Led by Dr. Barbara Conley,
formerly of the National Cancer Institute, the Division
has active clinical, research, and teaching programs.
 Hematology
and Oncology patients are seen at the MSU Breslin Cancer
Clinic. This busy clinic provides care to thousands
of patients each year. Physicians also provide care
to inpatients, and consultation in their area of expertise.
Interdisciplinary cancer clinics are used to create
a care team and cancer treatment plan that involves
the patient, oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons,
and other experts.
The
Division has an active clinical trials program that
provides patients with cutting-edge treatment and helps
advance the field of oncology. The Division participates
in national cooperative groups trials, including the
National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project
(NSABP) and the Southwest Oncology Group, both supported
through the NIH’s National Cancer Institute. In
addition, the Clinical Trials Unit conducts many other
trials to advance the science and treatment of cancer.
The
MSU Division of Hematology and Oncology provides ACGME-based
Fellowship
training leading to Board-eligibility in both Hematology
and Oncology. The Fellowship includes scheduled didactic
lectures, supervised outpatient and inpatient clinical
experience, and the opportunity to do electives at other
sites. Resident housestaff from the Department of Medicine
rotate through the clinical program.
