Dr Shyam Panicker

Dr Panicker is a haematologist who actively participates in a multidisciplinary cancer care team that coordinates care for people with blood cancer.

Clinical haematology involves examining and treating blood disorders, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. These conditions can impact the production of blood and its components (cells and plasma), coagulation (blood clotting), bone marrow, and lymph nodes. Examining for blood disorders might involve taking blood samples, bone marrow samples, or tissue samples for laboratory analysis and X-rays. Treatment will depend on the diagnosed problem.
