Dr. Musella Named as the Nation Brain Tumor Foundations's 1998 Conference Honoree

Dr. Al Musella, Conference Honoree; Samantha Scolamiero, founder of the Brain Tumor Mailing List; and Steve Depesa during the 1998 National Conference.

Al Musella, DPM was honored at the NBTF's conference for his work in providing clinical trial information on the internet. Dr. Musella has provided free information to over 70,000 people a year who visit his web site at www.virtualtrials.com. Dr. Musella has also begun a new project to track the outcomes of brain tumor treatments that may improve survival rates or eventually cure brain tumors. During his acceptance speech, Dr. Musella spoke about his search for treatment information for his sister-in-law's diagnosis and the subsequent development of his own web site. "I strongly believe that patients should be actively involved in choosing their own treatments and should have access to resources required to make an informaed decision".
