Dr. Flomenberg and Dolores Grosso, DNP, Featured in Philadelphia Tribune Story About Half-Match Bone Marrow Transplant
After battling leukemia and lymphoma for nine years, Melvin McKeiver, 42, received a half-match bone marrow transplant procedure at Jefferson. Since receiving the procedure, follow-up testing has not detected any sign of the cancer.
A clinical trial conducted by Neal Flomenberg, MD, chair, Department of Medical Oncology at Jefferson, and Dolores Grosso, DNP, has shown that the half-match bone marrow procedure yields promising results for blood cancer patients.
In a Philadelphia Tribune story, Dr. Flomenberg says, "Our half-match bone marrow transplant results open up many doors for different types of patients who can't find an exact match."
