Thrombosis and Hemostasis in Cancer
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-20314-6 (ISBN)
It has been 150 years since Armand Trousseau first described the well-known association between cancer and an increased risk of thrombosis, which may be considered the first paraneoplastic syndrome ever identified. More recently, numerous studies have indicated that activation of the coagulation system by cancer not only increases the likelihood of thrombosis, but is also associated with a more aggressive cancer phenotype. By familiarizing readers with the latest developments in this complex and challenging field, the book offers a valuable resource for scientists and clinicians alike.
Gerald A Soff MD is the Chief of the Hematology Service and co-Director of the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He previously was the Chief of the Hematology/Oncology Division at SUNY Downstate Medical Center (2006-2008), and had been on the faculty of the Feinberg School of Medicine - Northwestern University (1991-2005). Dr. Soff’s clinical practice is focused on the hematologic complications of cancer and cancer therapy, particularly thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and other coagulation disorders. His basic science research has included studies of vascular cells, angiogenesis, and angiogenesis inhibition. He is a clinical research leader in the study and validation of the use of direct oral anticoagulants for treatment and prophylaxis of cancer associated thrombosis. Dr. Soff has published over 70 original research papers, as well as numerous invited review articles and book chapters. Since 2014, Dr. Soff has been a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolic Disease panel. Previously, from 2011 to 2014, he had been on the NCCN Cancer and Chemotherapy-Induced Anemia Panel. He is a member of the American Society of Hematology Committee on Training and served as the Medical Education Subcommittee Chair from 2013-2018. He has mentored and continues to mentor numerous students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty, to facilitate their career development.
