Blood Cancer Talks

In this episode, we discuss with Dr. Martin Kaiser how to identify and manage newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma in the current era of effective frontline therapies.  Here are the key studies that we touched upon:

1. Phase II OPTIMUM (MUKnine) trial in ultra-high-risk myeloma and PCL:
