Amyloidosis Treatment Team

The OSUCCC – James internationally recognized teams of disease specialists and sub-specialists span a broad range of medical disciplines with internationally recognized expertise in cancer and disease research, prevention, detection, treatment and cures.

    Although there is currently no preventive tool or cure for amyloidosis, the OSUCCC – James Comprehensive Amyloidosis Clinic experts continue to work toward those goals.

    The team is comprised of highly specialized researchers, scientists and therapists who coordinate this extraordinary program with virtually every medical discipline, specialty and sub-specialty. Each team member has a specific and specialized focus, and each has a well-established, nationally and/or internationally recognized background.
