What Testing is Done to Identify Sub-Groups?

Did you know that the genetics of your myeloma affect how high-risk or low-risk your disease is? Some of the top myeloma doctors in the world answered our questions about risk, genetics and even treatment of the different cytogenetic abnormalities that crop up in multiple myeloma. You can watch the following HealthTree University videos to learn more about this important aspect of your disease. You can watch the entire course at university.healthtree.org.
