Expert Guidance on Therapeutic Strategies for Multiple Myeloma

Introduction

In this module, Charise Gleason, MSN, NP-BC, AOCNP; Sagar Lonial, MD; and Kathryn Maples, PharmD, BCOP, provide their perspectives on the evolving treatment landscape for multiple myeloma (MM) in 2020, including management options for patients with newly diagnosed smoldering or active MM, treatment selection for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease, and evolving data on promising new therapies on the horizon.

This educational activity also reviews treatment recommendations from a Clinical Care Options online interactive treatment decision tool for MM developed by 5 experts: Sarah A. Holstein, MD, PhD; Carol Ann Huff, MD; Shaji Kumar, MD; Sagar Lonial, MD; and Peter M. Voorhees, MD. This tool allows you to enter your specific patient’s characteristics and then provides treatment recommendations from the 5 experts. To access this tool, please click here.
