He holds an MBBS, MD (General Medicine), DM in Clinical Haematology, and has completed a Fellowship in Bone Marrow Transplantation at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada. His expertise includes the diagnosis and treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anaemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, bleeding and clotting disorders, pediatric blood disorders, and stem cell transplantation, providing comprehensive, evidence-based care for both benign and malignant blood disorders.

A Clinical Haematologist diagnoses and treats disorders affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. Dr. Mallikarjun Kalashetty manages blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, along with benign blood disorders including aplastic anaemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, platelet disorders, anemia, coagulation disorders, and pediatric blood diseases. Advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment help improve survival, reduce complications, and enhance long-term quality of life.

You should consult a Hemato-Oncologist if you experience persistent fatigue, unexplained fever, swollen lymph nodes, recurrent infections, easy bruising, prolonged bleeding, abnormal blood counts, or have been diagnosed with a blood cancer. Early evaluation allows timely diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other hematological disorders. Prompt treatment significantly improves outcomes, especially when advanced therapies such as targeted treatment or bone marrow transplantation are required.

Bone Marrow Transplantation replaces diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells to restore normal blood production. It is recommended for selected patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, aplastic anaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and certain immune disorders. Dr. Mallikarjun Kalashetty offers comprehensive transplant evaluation, donor matching, transplant planning, and long-term follow-up for optimal clinical outcomes.

Bone Marrow Transplantation and Stem Cell Transplantation are closely related procedures that restore healthy blood cell production. Stem cells may be collected from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood, depending on the patient's condition. The choice between autologous and allogeneic transplantation depends on disease type, donor availability, and overall health. A specialist determines the most appropriate transplant approach for each individual.

Advances in Clinical Haematology have significantly improved outcomes for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Modern treatments include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, stem cell transplantation, and personalized supportive care. Early diagnosis, accurate disease classification, and individualized treatment planning play a crucial role in achieving remission, improving survival, and maintaining quality of life throughout the treatment journey.

Common symptoms of blood cancers include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, prolonged fever, night sweats, frequent infections, enlarged lymph nodes, bone pain, easy bruising, excessive bleeding, and persistent weakness. Some patients may also develop anemia or abnormal blood counts detected during routine testing. Since these symptoms can resemble other illnesses, consultation with an experienced hematologist is important for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.

Blood disorders are diagnosed using a combination of clinical examination and advanced laboratory investigations. These may include complete blood counts, peripheral smear examination, coagulation studies, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, flow cytometry, cytogenetic analysis, molecular testing, and imaging when required. Dr. Mallikarjun Kalashetty utilizes comprehensive diagnostic techniques to identify the underlying cause accurately and develop an individualized treatment strategy for every patient.

Bone Marrow Transplantation is a highly specialized procedure performed under strict medical protocols by experienced transplant teams. Although it carries certain risks such as infection, graft-versus-host disease, and delayed recovery, advances in donor matching, supportive care, infection prevention, and post-transplant monitoring have significantly improved safety and success rates. Careful patient selection and continuous follow-up help achieve the best possible transplant outcomes.

Dr. Mallikarjun Kalashetty provides expert care for a wide range of benign blood disorders, including aplastic anaemia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, platelet disorders, coagulation disorders, anemia, bleeding disorders, clotting disorders, and pediatric hematological conditions. Treatment focuses on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based therapies, long-term disease monitoring, and improving patients' overall quality of life through comprehensive multidisciplinary care.

Many blood disorders and blood cancers progress silently before noticeable symptoms appear. Early diagnosis enables timely treatment, reduces complications, improves treatment response, and increases survival rates. Regular blood investigations and prompt evaluation by an experienced Clinical Haematologist are essential for detecting leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, bleeding disorders, and other hematological diseases at an early and more treatable stage.

Dr. Mallikarjun Kalashetty combines more than two decades of medical experience with advanced expertise in Clinical Haematology, Haemato-Oncology, and Bone Marrow Transplantation. Having received specialized fellowship training in Canada, he offers evidence-based treatment for blood cancers and complex blood disorders using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. His patient-centered care, transplant expertise, compassionate communication, and commitment to clinical excellence make him a trusted choice for hematology care in Bengaluru.
