    Dr. Pedro Cano received his MD from the Universidad de Murcia School of Medicine in Murcia, Spain, and his MBA from the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business (Economics and Statistics). He completed a fellowship in transfusion medicine and postgraduate fellowship in molecular immunology, HLA typing laboratory at the Blood Center of Southeastern Wisconsin and Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. Following his fellowships he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, and Associate Director, Transfusion Medicine Service and Hematology Laboratory, University of Maryland Medical System (1994–2000); Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center (2000–2004). He was promoted to Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, Division of Pathology/Laboratory Medicine, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston (2004–2015) and served as Medical Director, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Division of Pathology/Laboratory Medicine, HLA Typing Laboratory. He is currently a Senior Member in the Department of Hematopathology and Laboratory Medicine at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, and serves as the Medical Director of the HLA Laboratory. Dr. Cano is both nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in HLA immunogenetics and has been integral to the development of ASHI standards for clinical testing. His clinical focus is the analysis of immunogenetics data in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and to this end has developed software for the interpretation and reporting of HLA results in the EHR. He is also interested in the use of automation in the high-complexity clinical laboratory and the management of information in the clinical laboratory. His research interests include 1) the use of population genetics in the interpretation of HLA genotyping results, 2) the characterization of HLA epitopes in terms of DNA and protein sequence properties, and 3) the selections of peptides for their presentation to T cells by the HLA molecule.

  • Patient Comments

    Overall Satisfaction

    0

    0 patients rated this provider

    The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

    Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

    Comments

    Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

    We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

    Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

    Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

    • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
    • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
    • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
