HealthTree University: Geriatric Care and Myeloma

Age doesn't determine who is eligible for treatment, however your fitness level does. Discover the guidelines used by myeloma specialists to determine your fitness level and how to treat myeloma based off of your health in these videos. You can watch the entire course on HealthTree University.

39.05    Do guidelines exist to help the treating physician modify treatment based on frailty?

 

39.06    What are the different approaches to fitness based care?

 

39.07    Is under-treating fit geriatric patients a concern?

 

39.08    How do immunotherapies play a role in frail patients?

 

39.09    What does the future of geriatric treatment look like for myeloma patients?

 

We’d like to thank our faculty who donated their time in creating these videos, including:

  • Shakira Grant, MBBS
