Blood Cancer Doctors in Portland & Vancouver
Most patients receive a lymphoma diagnosis from a hematologist — a doctor specializing in blood cancers and non-cancerous blood disorders. Hematologists are also trained as cancer specialists called oncologists. The hematologists/oncologists at Compass Oncology are experts in diagnosing and treating Hodgkin lymphoma.
We will answer any questions you and your family have so you can better understand the details surrounding your specific diagnosis. We will also guide you through the entire treatment process.

Understanding the Symptoms and Diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma
If symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma are present, a hematologist evaluates them and performs tests to confirm a diagnosis. A biopsy is the sure way to diagnose this type of lymphoma.
Stages of Hodgkin Lymphoma
After diagnosing Hodgkin lymphoma, doctors need to determine its extent or progression, also known as staging, to recommend the appropriate treatments.
Treating Hodgkin Lymphoma
The specific treatment options included in your treatment plan and the timing of each are different for each patient. Learn more about common treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and bone marrow transplantation.
Clinical Trials for Blood Cancers
At Compass Oncology, our hematologists and oncologists are continually working to find better lymphoma treatment options through clinical research trials. We are part of US Oncology Research, a joint venture with Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI). This gives our patients access to many clinical trials offering the latest options for Hodgkin lymphoma treatments.
