In response to NBC News Special Correspondent Tom Brokaw’s announcement that he has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer of malignant cells found in the bone marrow, leading physician Dr. James Berenson is encouraged that Mr. Brokaw is receiving treatment and that he was brave enough to bring attention to this disease.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Dr. Berenson leads a team of dedicated scientists with extensive expertise in cancer research, particularly in the fields of metastatic cancer, cancer genetics, hematology, cellular interactions with the environment, myeloma and other bone cancers. His innovative research provides cancer patients with greater longevity and an improved quality of life. Dr. Berenson formed the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research in 2003 to provide patients with an opportunity to enhance their chances of surviving cancer and conquer one of the hardest challenges of their lives.
