Blood cancers can affect the production and function of blood cells, making awareness of potential warning signs and risk factors an important part of recognizing when to talk with a healthcare provider.
In a recent interview with KABB-TV (Fox San Antonio), Zohra Nooruddin, MD, hematologist-oncologist at Mays Cancer Center, the only NCI-Designated cancer center in South Texas, discusses common warning signs and risk factors for blood cancer, as well as advances that are expanding treatment options for patients.
Dr. Nooruddin also highlights innovative treatments available at UT Health San Antonio, including immunotherapy and stem cell therapies. Through the Stem Cell Transplant and Cellular Therapy program, specialists at Mays Cancer Center and UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital work together to provide advanced care for patients with blood cancers and other complex conditions.
Advanced cancer care depends on more than innovative treatments. It also depends on having blood products available when patients need them. By donating at the UT Health San Antonio Blood Donor Center, you can directly support patients receiving cancer treatment, undergoing surgery and receiving other lifesaving care.
