At SL Raheja Hospital, haematologists perform and interpret these tests directly. In urgent cases, a diagnosis can be reached within hours of the biopsy, allowing treatment to begin promptly where time is critical.
- No. While haematologists do treat blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, a significant part of haematology involves non-cancerous (benign) conditions.
