ForwardMonthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Management of Patients with Multiple Myeloma
Studies with new drugs classes and new combination regimens have broadened the treatment options for multiple myeloma (MM). The integration of these novel regimens into the treatment paradigm has shifted the perception of MM from an incurable disease to a chronic one. Clinicians treating patients with MM are often faced with a difficult task of deciding who to treat, choosing optimal induction and maintenance therapies based on risk of recurrence and other factors, utilizing knowledge of previously administered therapies to treat relapses, etc. while taking into consideration patient co-morbidities, potential adverse events of therapies, and patient preferences. It is difficult for clinicians to remain current with the evolving treatment options for MM. In order to optimize overall patient outcomes, clinicians need to understand the evidence behind the current guidelines’ recommendations, the rationale for appropriate treatment selection, and the management of any treatment- or MM-specific adverse events.
Target Audience
This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
Following this activity, participants should be able to:
- Select individualized evidence-based strategies for treatment of patients with newly diagnosed MM.
- Discuss supportive care measures needed for management of any myeloma or its treatment-related adverse effects.
- Review the current and emerging therapeutic options for patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
