Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care - Multiple Myeloma
Join Kenneth Anderson, MD and Paul Richardson, MD as they present their multidisciplinary expertise on a range of cases pertaining to multiple myeloma.
The understanding of key pathways responsible for multiple myeloma has led to the development of novel agents. This in turn has resulted in availability of many evidence-based options for treatment of MM contributing to significant improvements in response and survival.
Newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma is responsive to treatment with regimens containing immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide and lenalidomide; proteasome inhibitors such as bortezomib; high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant in appropriate patients; or combinations containing melphalan and prednisone with novel agents.
