Dr. Marco Ruiz is a Medical Oncologist in Hematologic Cancers specializing in leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndrome, myelofibrosis, HIV related malignancies, stem cell transplants, geriatric oncology, and palliative medicine at the Miami Cancer Institute in Miami, Florida. He is also an experienced bone marrow transplant specialist and is active in cancer research. Growing up the son of a nurse, Dr. Ruiz knew at a young age that he wanted to pursue a career in medicine. But it was his father’s battle with cancer that sparked a passion for helping patients with the disease.
GRACE sat down with Dr. Marco Ruiz to discuss information regarding the role of fms related tyrosine kinase 3 (flt3) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (¿Cuál es el rol de la tirosina cinasa 3 afín a FMS (FLT3) y de las mutaciones en las neoplasias mieloproliferativas (NMP) en la leucemia mieloide aguda (LMA)?). Stay tuned for more on our continuing video series with our Spanish speaking faculty on updates in blood cancer treatments, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia & Myelodysplastic Syndrome, (Leucemia mieloide aguda y síndrome mielodisplásico).
