Thank you very much for sharing this systemic tumor course online. I reckon it to be the very best I have ever encountered in years and helped a young orthopedic resident like me a lot.

Thank you Dr Wittig! I’m an RN Case Manager with PVNS in knee and wrist. I have recurring, aggressive nodular and diffuse types resistant unsuccessfully removed by excision and will be starting the CF1 inhibitor after FDA final approval next year. I have a few other masses and am looking at the pathology because no one has a real answer. I had to go to several doctors before the GCT was diagnosed also. I wish I could find a knowledgeable doctor such as yourself who could actually explain the imaging! Your lectures are wonderful and I appreciate them on here - I love this information!

Good morning doctor and thank you so much for your video you're amazing. I have a very close relative that doctors suspected she had multiple myeloma went through all the tests and discovered it was unknown is there still danger for this down the road she's a very young girl I'm very worried for her... can the body just live with something as unknown until the duration of her life? I know no one knows the future but just wondered if you had ever heard of anything like this thank you so much!
