Ongoing research with West Virginia University’s clinical and translational science program aims to find better treatments for multiple myeloma, a rare but deadly form of blood cancer.

Drug Payments

Doctors would use the provincial funding code if it remotely came close to covering the cost of the infusion. This is a common problem which gets no attention.
