Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care - Multiple Myeloma
Join Jill Burke, MSN, NP, and Noopur Raje, MD, from Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center | Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center as they present their multidisciplinary expertise on a range of cases pertaining to multiple myeloma.
With all of the currently available and emerging treatment options and clinical factors, multiple myeloma management has become multifaceted and complex. Appropriate diagnosis and selection of therapy based on patients and disease characteristics, monitoring response to therapy in addition to adverse effects are all very important to improved patient outcomes. An additional level of complexity in multiple myeloma management lies in devising supportive care treatment plans to manage myeloma or its treatment-associated health conditions. The most common conditions are osteolytic bone lesions and/or osteoporosis that affect 85% of multiple myeloma patients and are the major cause of limitations in their quality of life and performance overall.

The ACCME/ANCC/ACPE defines “conflict of interest” as when an individual has an opportunity to affect CE content about products or services of a commercial interest with which he/she has a financial relationship.
ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC focuses on financial relationships with commercial interests in the 12-month period preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the CE activity. ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC have not set a minimal dollar amount for relationships to be significant. Inherent in any amount is the incentive to maintain or increase the value of the relationship. The ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC defines “relevant’ financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest.
All faculty for this continuing education activity are competent in the subject matter and qualified by experience, training, and/or preparation to the tasks and methods of delivery.
