alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader How we approach the diagnosis of a vascular anomaly via Pediatric Blood & Cancer Abstract Vascular anomalies represent a diverse group of complex disorders that can cause significant complications, including coagulopathies, pain, and decreased function.

Pediatric hematologists/oncologists (PHO) are uniquely positioned for an essential role in diagnosing, managing, and coordinating the multidisciplinary care required to maximize the quality of life of these patients.
