Hamza Hassan, MD

I am a physician-researcher and hematologist-oncologist specializing in the care of patients with multiple myeloma, AL amyloidosis, precursor condition such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and other related disorders affecting plasma cells. These are the cells that produce the antibodies that protect us against infection and live predominantly in the bone marrow. I trained at one of the most robust autologous stem cell transplant and CAR T cell therapy centers in Boston. Many of the patients I see have a disease that has been deemed hard to treat or high risk.

A blood cancer diagnosis dramatically changes the trajectory of a patient’s life. I am acutely aware of the impact that I have on a patient’s cancer treatment journey and am passionate about having the opportunity to make a difference in my patients’ lives. Throughout the years of caring for patients with multiple myeloma, amyloidosis and plasma cell disorders, my patients and their family members have always been the most important people in the room for me. It is my responsibility to educate my patients with relevant information about their disease, alleviate their concerns at each stage in the process, and develop a treatment plan that best befits their individual needs. I advocate equitable care for patients with hematologic diseases from underserved populations through community-based patient and peer education programs. I am committed to making each of my patients feel comforted by the expertise of their care team and empowered by the information provided to them.
