AB  - Patients with hematologic cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma are living longer than ever. The survival rate of patients with most hematologic cancers has doubled since 1974, and these once-terminal diagnoses are now chronic health conditions. This article reviews the care of patients with hematologic cancers, including those previously treated for childhood, adolescent, and young-adult cancers, discusses the role of primary care in a multidisciplinary team approach, and reviews innovative ways to deliver needed care.
