title: Treatment options for older myeloma patients. From the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
abstract: Treatment regimens for multiple myeloma are evolving because of advances in both pharmacotherapy and transplantation strategies. The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) has gathered the top thought leaders in myeloma research to prepare an engaging, interactive series of case studies in multiple myeloma, which are available online at www.multiplemyeloma.org and are published on a regular basis in ONCOLOGY. For more information about the interactive series, see the MMRF ad on page 552.
