Over the months I have been in contact with many of the worlds best multiple myeloma specialists, and many have committed to providing survival rate statistics to this web site. First and foremost, I would like to provide my sincere thanks to all who have shown interest in this program, offered me encouragement, and were kind enough to introduce me to other of their multiple myeloma colleagues. In addition, I have also found that there is a lot of effort required in working this project into busy schedules, along with operating a thriving practice, meeting professional obligations, and working through the data processing maze that we often find in any business. So I am careful to always be thankful for their continued commitment, and have let them all know that I will be patiently awaiting their survival data, and occasionally call to check on the status. I did, however want to let my readers know who they can expect to see in the near future.
I have done some due diligence on all of these myeloma specialists and they all meet or exceed my expectations of what is required to be a multiple myeloma specialist. It is therefore my believe that their survival rate and life expectancy performance will be greater than the National Cancer Institutes averages. I have found that all of the doctors that have committed to providing survival data and then later provided this data have all exceeded the National Cancer Institutes SEER averages. I therefore believe this group will be no different. The survival rate statistic that you can expect to see are from the following myeloma specialists and hospitals.
Edward Faber, Jr., MD - Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine - University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE
Rafael Fonseca MD -Chair, Department of Medicine - Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Arizona
Craig Hofmeister MD - Assistant professor of medicine - The James Cancer Center, Ohio State University - Columbus,OH
Asher Chanan-Khan, MD - Chair, Division of Hematology & Oncology - Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL
Sagar Lonial MD - Professor & Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology - Winship Cancer Institute, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
Jan S Moreb, MD - Professor of Medicine - Clinical Director, Hematologic Malignancies - Shands at the University of Florida, Gainsville, FL
Attaya Suvannasankha, MD - Assistant Professor - Simon Cancer Center, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN
David Siegel, MD and David Vesole, MD - Multiple Myeloma Division Chiefs - John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack, NJ
Ravi Vij, MD - Medical oncologist, bone marrow transplant specialist - Washington University School of Medicine - St. Louis,MO
In addition, I have been in contact with Paul Richardson, MD of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, and hope to be able to add them to the list as well. I have made other requests for participation which are still pending, and continue to get recommendations from myeloma patients, care givers, and myeloma specialists. I have found that as time goes on the momentum for this project continues to build. Thanks to all who have been supportive of this effort.
