program overview
Program Description
While relapse is inevitable in multiple myeloma (MM), current treatment strategies prolong response duration and progression-free survival at each step of care. With longer survival comes the need to proactively manage disease- and treatment-related toxicities, and with oral therapies, the need to maintain adherence with sometimes complicated dosing schedules.
Format
eNewsletter with interactive benchmarking
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Identify novel agents used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (RR) MM and guideline recommendations for their use
- Apply established criteria to identify patients who have developed RRMM and individualize therapy based on relevant patient- and disease-related characteristics
- Use current recommendations for monitoring and managing treatment-related adverse events in patients with RRMM
Target Audience
Oncology NPs, PAs, and nurses
