Updated #ASH19 Myeloma GUIDE! 11 Myeloma Specialists Choose Their Favorite Topics

Myeloma Crowd provides the final pre #ASH19 listing of the most relevant myeloma abstracts. The listing is intended to let the participants with an interest in myeloma to find and attend the most important oral presentations. In addition, anyone following ASH by way of the internet can click on the abstracts to see what is new and important in myeloma treatment, research, and care.    A total of 11 well known and respected myeloma specialists provided their top picks for #ASH19.   Dr. Mike Thompson put together a summary of all the lists provided last year and has been so kind as to do it again this year.  His summary graph follows the listing and provides an overview of which abstracts has a consensus of opinion.  Some have as many as 4 and 5 specialists who has chosen them. The pre ASH19 summary of the best of the best abstracts from the following doctors is included below:

• Dr. Vincent Rajkumar (Mayo)
• Dr. Saad Usmani (Levine Cancer Institute)
• Dr. Michael Thompson (Aurora Health Care)
• Dr. Brian Durie (IMF)
• Dr. Daniel Auclair (MMRF)
• Dr. Luciano Costa(UAB)
• Dr. Sigurdur Kristinsson (University of Iceland)
• Dr. Suzanne Lentzsch (Columbia University)
• Dr. Ola Landgren (MSKCC)
• Dr. Rafael Fonseca(Mayo)
• Dr. Parameswaran Hari (Medical College of Wisconsin)

The myeloma specialists have chosen 34 oral abstracts from the more than 243 oral abstracts listed.  We have summarized them below with the Abstract number, the Oral Session in which it will be presented, the Presenter, the date and time, and the Location of the session.  This should provide participants with information they can use to make sure they see some of the most relevant presentations for myeloma at ASH 2019.   A final listing will be provided after ASH 19 has been completed, and everyone has seen the oral and poster presentations.
