All Treatments & Services

Pathology and laboratory services play a vital role in diagnosing cancer and guiding treatment decisions. Pathologists are physicians who examine blood, tissue, and other samples to identify abnormalities, determine whether cancer is present, and understand how aggressive it may be. Laboratory testing provides important information about blood counts, organ function, tumor markers, and genetic changes within cancer cells. These results help your care team confirm a diagnosis, plan treatment, monitor progress, and adjust therapies as needed.Most laboratory tests are completed quickly using advanced technology, and results are shared directly with your oncology team. Pathologists work closely with medical oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists to ensure every patient receives an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.

Rheumatology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the joints, muscles, bones, and immune system. Rheumatologists care for patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and long-term damage if untreated. These conditions may occur on their own or alongside cancer or cancer therapies, making specialized evaluation especially important. Rheumatologists use physical exams, imaging, and laboratory testing to understand the cause of symptoms and develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. Treatment may include medications, injections, lifestyle guidance, and coordinated care with other specialists to help reduce inflammation, manage pain, and improve mobility and quality of life.

A second opinion gives patients the opportunity to have their diagnosis or treatment plan reviewed by another cancer specialist. This visit allows you to ask questions, explore additional treatment options, and feel confident that your care plan is the right one for you. During a second opinion consultation, an oncology provider reviews your medical history, imaging, pathology, and test results, and discusses recommendations based on the most current evidence and guidelines. Many patients seek a second opinion to better understand their diagnosis, confirm their treatment approach, or learn whether clinical trials or advanced therapies may be available.Your care team will work with you to gather records, explain the findings, and answer any questions you may have. A second opinion does not replace your existing care team. Instead, it offers another expert perspective to support informed decision making and give you peace of mind as you move forward with treatment.At The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, our multidisciplinary team provides second opinions for patients at any point in their cancer journey.
