As a myeloma warrior myself, I am keenly interested in articles like this one. A novel drug gets fast tracked to market approval in cancer treatment-- specifically a blood cancer treatment. How does this relate to myeloma? I'm asking the experts so stay tuned. When I get more info, I promise to share.

And time is of the essence when it comes to cancer treatments. All the best in fighting and winning! Lizzy Smith US regulators fast-track novel leukemia therapy July 7, 2014 Washington (AFP) - US regulators on Monday put an experimental immunotherapy agent on the fast track to market approval, after 89 percent of leukemia patients in early trials saw their cancers disappear.
