With a disease as complex as multiple myeloma, the experience gained from a large volume of patients is a distinct advantage. Our staff is focused on the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma. Patients requiring hospitalization are admitted to a special inpatient unit dedicated to multiple myeloma patients and to patients with other hematological malignancies undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Air in each patient room is processed through special HEPA filters to protect patients from airborne pathogens. Three rooms are equipped with laminar airflow for patients who are especially vulnerable to infection.
Rooms are spacious with comfortable seating and a window with a pleasant view.
Patients can hook up their own computers and access E-mail and Internet connections. Physician Team MTRC physicians have extensive training and experience in multiple myeloma and transplantation for multiple myeloma and other hematological malignancies.
