Overview

The American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual conference is a big deal in myeloma. Specialists gather and share newly published research and data. However, it can get difficult to keep track of everything that is shared. Dr. Peter Voorhees, myeloma specialist in Levine (North Carolina) is coming to the SouthEast to share what you need to know, regardless of where you are in your myeloma journey. What should precursor patients know about what was released? Do newly diagnosed patients have any new options? Any updates about maintenance therapy? And what options are released for those who are relapsed?
