During the virtual Multiple Myeloma Hub Satellite Symposium, an international panel of four experts will discuss the goal of achieving a cure for multiple myeloma and what this means for different subsets of patients.
The aim of this virtual symposium is to review the current survival trends of patients with multiple myeloma and the measures that have been undertaken to achieve long-term remissions, such as early intervention, combined treatment approaches, stem cell transplantation, and novel immunotherapies. The roundtable discussion will highlight the benefits and limitations of these approaches, and how they may guide future decision-making on the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma.
