Multiple myeloma has traditionally been a challenging disease to treat. The recent introduction of new and emerging agents and the use of combination therapies has changed the face of myeloma management. In order to maximize the benefits of these new therapeutics while minimizing risks due to myeloma and age-related comorbidities and therapy-related side effects, practitioners who treat myeloma in their patients must master a multitude of skills to realize the full benefit of current advances.
Two downloadable slide decks have now been made available for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and pharmacists to train fellow practitioners and students new to this exciting therapeutic setting.
One slide set was developed by prominent physician specialists from Harvard University and Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Adam D. Cohen, MD

This slide deck focuses primarily on diagnosis, staging, risk stratification, treatment sequencing and therapeutic side-effect management throughout the life cycle of this disease.
A second slide deck created specifically to address the additional needs of nurses has been developed by a prominent oncology nurse practitioner from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation.

This deck covers treatment monitoring and side-effect management and includes management approaches for peripheral neuropathy, renal impairment, infection, and risk reduction and treatment of venous thromboembolism in myeloma patients.
