June 2016
Greetings!
Welcome to the June issue of Multiple Myeloma Updates for Advanced Practitioners in Oncology.
If you attended the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago earlier this month, you surely walked away with some new perspectives. I’ve selected some highlights from ASCO for the “In the News” section, including several video clips and interviews with key investigators filmed on site in Chicago, as well as some interesting recently published articles for the “In the Literature” section.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to highlight Chapter 5 from our video roundtable, which focuses on determining a patient’s suitability for transplant in the up-front setting and the importance of good screening procedures. Take a look at this short clip when you have a few minutes, then watch the whole video to hear the whole discussion.
As always, feel free to share this MM resource, the video roundtable discussion, and the JADPRO supplement with your colleagues.
