Nonsecretory Myeloma Event: Clonal Evolution and How It's Possible

Webinar

Apr 27, 2023 / 01:00PM - 02:00PM EDT

Event Description

Some of our Community members began as secreting myeloma patients, only to convert into nonsecretory patients later in their journey. A few of our nonsecreting members have recently started secreting. Can that happen to anyone? What is going on biologically as different clones of myeloma start manifesting in different ways? We get to learn with Dr. Tax Kourelis about this complicated topic. Come with your questions!
