Multiple Myeloma Expert Roundtable: Stem Cell Transplantation, Maintenance Therapy, and Relapsed/Refractory Disease

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

With numerous recent advances in available treatments and options for diagnosis and staging, disease monitoring, and supportive care, the outlook for patients with multiple myeloma has never been brighter. However, this expansion of clinical options has also introduced potentially daunting challenges for the health care providers charged with the care of these patients.

This activity presents a robust roundtable discussion in which our expert faculty provides insights on such issues as determining the optimal timing and approach for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), considering new factors when weighing the benefits and risks of maintenance therapy, and choosing between the various therapeutic options in the relapsed/refractory setting. This activity includes downloadable resources (including supplemental figures and tables).
