MD Anderson Cancer Center is a global leader in the treatment of blood cancers.
The Leukemia department is one of the most successful disease-specific cancer
programs in the world, as well as one of the largest. As the largest medical
academic department within the Cancer Medicine division, we have 29 clinical
faculty and 20 research faculty. We have approximately 450 employees in the
academic department, another 120 outpatient center employees and 150 inpatient
employees all of whom support the leukemia research program. Our program sees
over 2,000 new patients and 50,000 outpatient encounters each year, while
maintaining an inpatient census over 120 patients per day. We have a special
Fast Track Clinic for leukemia outpatients, to take care of treatment needs that
don't require hospitalization.

Most leukemia patients coming to MD Anderson for their care are treated on a
research clinical trial. Clinical research conducted by our faculty and staff
consistently translates into new leukemia therapies and advances overall
knowledge of the disease. We offer over 50 active clinical trials, many of these
are not available in other cancer centers or the community, and many offer
significant benefit over any therapy considered standard of care.

Here you can learn more about the Leukemia department, the services we provide,
visit our Leukemia Hematology Grand Rounds series, and keep up with the latest
news with our Leukemia Insights newsletter.
