Expertscape Ranks Top Doctors and Hospitals in Multiple Myeloma

PALO ALTO, Calif. - Feb. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- As part of our continuing program to highlight expertise and excellence in healthcare, Expertscape.com takes pleasure in recognizing the world’s top institutions and medical specialists in multiple myeloma research and treatment. Also known as Kahler’s disease, it is a cancer of the white blood cells. It is relatively rare, occurring in only about 4 in 100,000 people each year. Complications from the disease include lowered immunity to illness, anemia, bone problems and kidney failure.

If diagnosis indicates multiple myeloma, it is likely that the patient will be referred to a blood cancer specialist for further evaluation and treatment. In more complicated cases or those with more advanced symptoms, the patient may benefit from a second opinion from someone with special and extensive interest in multiple myeloma.
