Risk Status in Multiple Myeloma (Understanding FISH and Chromosomes)- NOT RECORDED
Multiple myeloma is a rare disease, complicated by the individuality and complicated genetics of the disease itself. It's easy to get confused when sifting through translocations, deletions, and risk assessment. Join us to get a better understanding of not only the vocabulary, but your own risk assessment based on your FISH or other genetic test results. You won't want to miss this!
THIS EVENT WILL NOT BE RECORDED. PLEASE ATTEND LIVE IF POSSIBLE
