Precursor Conditions
1. What are the precursor conditions of multiple myeloma? Video
2. What is MGUS? Video
3. What testing should be done to confirm a MGUS diagnosis? Should a bone marrow biopsy be done? Should imaging be done? Video
4. Should an individual diagnosed with MGUS see a specialist? Video
5. How is MGUS monitored? How often should individuals diagnosd with MGUS have their myeloma blood markers retested? How often should individuals diagnosd with MGUS have repeat BMB and imaging? Video
6. Should MGUS be treated? Video
7. What is smoldering (asymptomatic) multiple myeloma? Video

What is the PROMISE study?
Last year
Lesson Description
Find out how the PROMISE study is screening high-risk individuals for early signs of myeloma precursor conditions to better predict progression and prevent myeloma.
