Final MBBS STUDENT
SETH GS MEDICAL COLLEGE AND KEM HOSPITAL,MUMBAI, India
I am Aditya Raniithkumar Nair, a Final year medical student from Seth GS medical college, Mumbai. In my second year of studies, I got interested in neoplasms, malignancies and their pathophysiologies. I got particularly interested in haematological malignancies which is when I approached Dr. Bhausaheb Bagal, a haematologist oncologist at Tata Memorial Hospital to learn more about the subject and maybe work along and see the clinical pictures in blood cancers. Under Dr Bhausaheb’s mentorship, I learned a lot about haematological malignancies, particularly multiple myeloma. We decided to look into the factors causing early mortality in patients of Multiple myeloma in our setting as this would help us know what factors cause early death and if possible how to intervene. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot throughout the research and we are very pleased to be able to present our research at the International Myeloma Conference.
