Greetings, physicians and healthcare leaders, and welcome to MD News San Antonio. When your patients face bone marrow disease, it's critical that you find an outstanding facility for their diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, that level of care is available locally at Methodist Hospital's Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Program. In our cover feature article, learn how the nationally recognized program cares for both pediatric and adult patients. Encouraging results from a phase 3 study of the drug ocrelizumab are offering hope to patients who are diagnosed with primary-progressive multiple sclerosis. We take a look at the findings in our special clinical section about neurology. In addition, we examine a novel approach to dissolving life-threatening blood clots. And we summarize a number of other news events related to neurology. In our national feature, we discuss pembrolizumab, one of a newer class of drugs that is markedly enhancing treatment of advanced melanoma. Other local stories highlight the GreenLight Assessment System, the benefits of treasury management services, the importance of having a business team you can trust and a healthcare law update about whistle blowers. Referring physicians throughout the region can learn about your clinical expertise, research involvement or advanced technologies through the broad digital and print platforms offered by MD News.
