The Department has an extremely distinguished record in the provision of clinical services to patients with Leukaemia and Myeloma, including Europe’s first Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), pioneering work on familial donors and extensive involvement and leadership in national and international trials. Patients are predominantly referred directly from secondary care hospitals with results of diagnostic tests suggesting some form of haematological malignancy. The Department currently offers all treatment modalities for patients within the following range of conditions:

Myeloma and other plasma cell disorders

Acute Leukaemia

Myeloproliferative

Disorders/Myelofibrosis

Lymphoproliferative Disease

(LPD) Myelodysplastic syndrome

(MDS)

Facilities are available for all types of therapy including intensive chemotherapy, immunotherapy and both allogeneic (sibling, unrelated, umbilical cord blood, haploidentical) and autologous stem cell transplantation. RMH has a split site model with inpatient and outpatient care for haematology patients taking place across both sites. At RMH Sutton, inpatients are cared for in a dedicated facility on the second floor of the Sutton site.
