Diagnosis involves a combination of physical examination, blood tests (such as complete blood count, peripheral smear, and bone marrow biopsy), imaging studies, and sometimes biopsies of affected lymph nodes or other organs.

Management options depend on the type and stage of the hematologic malignancy. Treatment may involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or stem cell transplantation.
