No Sickle Cell is not like Leukemia... I am not sure why people assume that. I can tell you why Hematology (blood Disorders) and Oncology (Cancer) are together in the medical field as Hem/Onc. Leukemia was the first cancer discovered because Leukemia is a cancer of the blood they put it with blood disorders. SN: Hem/Onc is the only field of medicine where if you want to treat cancer you are forced into treating blood disorders, or vice vera.
