Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Thirty-six years ago, I was in a car crash with major injuries, including a broken sternum and back with injuries to my heart and lungs. Two years ago, I had a pulmonary embolism that revealed undifferentiated liposarcoma cancer, which I then had surgery to remove. Testing was done and determined that the blood clot wasn’t genetic, and there was no tendency to clot.
