Hematology offers diagnostic evaluation and
comprehensive follow-up for the child with hematological (non-malignant)
problems or coagulation disorders. Immunologic disturbances are evaluated
in conjunction with the immunology and infectious disease service. The
Division's Ted R. Montoya Hemophilia Program provides comprehensive care to the
individual (child and adult) with hemophilia and other hereditary bleeding
disorders. Adult care is coordinated with the transfusion service.
When appropriate for the care of the patient, a statewide home therapy program
for specialized blood products is provided. Outreach visits to the
patients' hometowns are an important part of this program. The laboratory
expertise needed to establish the correct diagnosis is an integral part of the
program. The Division participates in part of the International
Collaborative Gaucher's Group.
Oncology offers a multidisciplinary care team to deliver
state-of-the-art care for children facing childhood cancer. The team
includes physicians, nurses, social workers, play therapists and clinical
pharmacists. Both conventional and experimental childhood cancer treatment
are available through UNM's participation in clinical research protocols of the
National Cancer Institute and the Pediatric Oncology Group.
