Uterine Leiomyosarcoma Champion
Dr. Matthew Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX should be considered our knight in shining armor, ladies. He and Dr. Diane Bodurka, from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, created a database of information for 400 patients diagnosed with this rare form of uterine cancer. Compiling the patient information took Dr. Anderson over 5 years. Data, such as tumor size, patient age, menopausal status, and treatment methods was documented.
He is currently working to create a specialized clinic for uterine leiomyosarcoma at the Baylor Clinic in Houston. Hopefully, those of you who have uterine leiomyosarcoma will have a ‘champion’ to help your through it. This is a rare gift in the world of rare cancers. I only wish that more physicians would follow in Dr. Anderson’s footsteps and take an interest in some of the many rare cancers who have no champion. We sure could use the help.
Dr. Matthew Anderson, I Salute You!
Take Care, Sharon www.rare-cancer.org
