Dr.
Wiernik has established The Familial
Hematological Malignancy Research
Project. The study is investing families
with two or more family members diagnosed
with hematological ( blood ) malignancies.
The goal of this study is to determine
if a genetic basis exists for these
hematological malignancies. There
is no cost to any participant enrolled
in the Familial Hematological Disorders
Research Study. Dr. Wiernik hopes
to enroll, investigate and analyze
1,000 or more families. They have
studied a few hundred families already.

- The Cancer Research Foundation
began a new study called Kidney Cancer
Tissue Bank and Future Clinical Research
Protocol at Our lady of Mercy Medical
Center in the Bronx. The main purpose
of this study is to collect Renal Cell
Cancer specimens and blood samples from
our patients for use in developing predictors
of disease activity. Such research will
help to improve our understanding of
this disease, develop better treatment
options, and identify genetic factors
that will help diagnose and treat Kidney
Cancer. This research project is headed
by Dr. Janice P. Dutcher.
