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.
