Patient Management Guidelines
National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines has evidence-based guidance on the diagnosis, workup, and management of multiple myeloma.
These guidelines provide recommendations on treatment for both patients who are newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma and patients who have relapsed/refractory disease, plasma cell leukemia, solitary plasmacytoma, and smoldering myeloma.
Integrative Approaches in Multiple Myeloma: Managing Symptoms and Improving Quality of Life
Multiple myeloma (MM) has seen significant treatment advancements, including immune modulators, proteasome inhibitors, and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies, resulting in a tripling of median overall survival....
