Description:
A rapidly developing specialty in terms of both research and clinical diagnostics and therapy. Hematology is a subspecialty of internal medicine that has points of contact with e.g. general medicine, oncology and infectious medicine.

The majority of patients with non-malignant hematological diseases are managed by internal medicine physicians at county and regional hospitals. As far as anemia investigations are concerned, investigation and treatment often take place in primary care, and patients with anemia are current daily in most specialties. At the country's various hematology clinics, patients with severe bone marrow diseases, such as acute and chronic leukaemias, myeloma, malignant lymphomas and various conditions with bone marrow failure, are mainly cared for. The university clinics also carry out extensive activities with autologous and/or allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
