Program
Dr. Robert Orlowski will provide information on Multiple Myeloma, current treatment available and resources available through LLS.
Black Americans have roughly twice the incidence of
multiple myeloma as white Americans, with recent studies finding that blacks
are also less likely to receive the latest myeloma treatments or combination
therapies, and more likely to encounter delays in receiving treatment, including
transplants. Participants
will learn about current updates in therapies available for
treatment in Myeloma and resources available though their cancer
center and LLS.
We encourage you to invite your caregiver and family members.
