Multiple Myeloma: Current Treatment Modalities

Extended survival outcomes are becoming increasingly common after a diagnosis of multiple myeloma.

Dr. James Berenson, founding president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research in West Hollywood, Calif., probes these issues and more with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
