Hematologist and Oncologist at Curative Digestive Disease Center in Houston

A hematologist and oncologist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the blood and cancers throughout the body — including those that affect the digestive system. Many gastrointestinal conditions can have links to blood disorders or malignancies, such as colon cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gastrointestinal lymphomas.

In coordinated digestive care, the gastroenterologist identifies and diagnoses abnormalities in the digestive tract through procedures like endoscopy, colonoscopy, and biopsy. When results show cancerous or pre-cancerous changes, a hematologist-oncologist becomes a key part of the patient’s multidisciplinary care team. They provide comprehensive cancer evaluation, design individualized chemotherapy or targeted therapy plans, and work closely with gastroenterologists and surgeons to ensure seamless management and ongoing monitoring.

Together, gastroenterologists and hematologist-oncologists help patients receive early detection, advanced treatment, and compassionate, coordinated care for all digestive cancers and related blood conditions — promoting better outcomes and overall digestive health.
