Due to its gradual onset, primary care providers play an important role in the detection and diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM), leading to earlier treatment that can help improve morbidity and mortality rates. Unfortunately, many patients with MM experience relapse and become resistant to therapies. This session will discuss some of the challenges of treating MM while also exploring guidelines in the management of this disease. In addition, attendees will learn about the safety and efficacy of available and emerging therapies.

Learning Objectives:

Assess barriers to the optimal management of patients with MM
Evaluate current treatment guidelines and emerging standards of care in the management of MM
Discuss the therapeutic implications of available and emerging treatments, including their efficacy and safety, and considerations for optimal care
