Multiple Myeloma Clinical update

June 3, 2020
 Adrian Warnock

ASCO had 300 Multiple Myeloma abstracts! Fortunately we have found some easily understandable video updates. This page includes entry level to advanced information. Catch up on all the latest in Multiple Myeloma research. Multiple myeloma is a form of blood cancer which arrises in plasma cells. You can read more about Myeloma on this site and also at Blood Cancer UK or LLS.

On this page we will be building a list of videos and helpful documents that you may want to work through if you would like an update on what is new in the world of medical information and treatments for multiple myeloma.

We will try and guide you as to which videos and documents are easier to follow and which assume more knowledge. You can dip in and out, and even come back later. The USA medical conference ASCO is usually the home to lots of interesting clinical updates about multiple myeloma. This year is no different although the meeting took place virtually at the end of May. Near the end of this article are highlights from ASCO2020 abstracts and a link to those about myeloma, followed by a list of links about specific blood cancers, and some videos of patients stories from Blood Cancer UK and this site. Before we get to the ASCO material, here is some helpful introductory information.
