![]() | The Evolving Era of Novel Therapies in Multiple Myeloma CME, CPE Joshua Richter, MD | |
Release Date: November 15, 2016 Expiration Date: November 15, 2017 | ||
The evolving role of biological and molecular markers in the diagnosis and prognostication of multiple myeloma supports a more accurate and individualized assessment of a patient's risk-level and subsequent selection of treatment. Through an overview of the myeloma-defining events that comprise the revised ISS, and discussion of the correlation between specific cytogenetic abnormalities and response to treatment, participants will gain greater insight into the application of these diagnostic, prognostic and potentially predictive markers in the treatment of their patients with multiple myeloma.

![]() | Minimizing Non-adherence and Improving Compliance in Multiple Myeloma CME, CPE Saad Z. Usmani, MD, FACP | |
Release Date: April 18, 2016 Expiration Date: April 18, 2017 | ||
In multiple myeloma (MM), the emergence of several oral agents and the increased use of maintenance/continuous therapy could result in more treatment non-adherence and therefore reduced efficacy. Patient-related, treatment-related and clinician-related factors can all contribute to non-adherence and should be understood by health care providers, the goal being to gauge the patient’s risk for inadequate dosing. This CE activity discusses the potential for non-adherence to myeloma therapy and aims to identify ways that clinicians can ameliorate this risk.
