Dr. Silver was one of the first physicians to use the anti-viral agent interferon in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and the first to report its effectiveness against polycythemia vera. He developed courses to train physicians in the biopsy of bone marrow and interpretation of the results. His research contributed significantly to current understandings of how infections develop in leukemia.
