Philippines Research interest: "We are investigating the significance of imaging studies showing marrow involvement in multiple myeloma and relating these findings with patient outcomes. Response to therapy as measured with imaging studies of magnetic resonance imaging are being correlated with morbidity issues of compression fractures, relapse and event free survival. Our investigational effort in this disease is in the study and performance of CT-directed biopsies with cytogenetic results and vertebroplasties with compression fractures with improving this associated morbidity."
