With all of the activity in multiple myeloma research, it can be tough to keep up - even for the myeloma specialist. Last year is a prime example with over 7 new FDA drug approvals in a single year. New and exciting research is happening in oral treatments, in immunotherapies like CAR T cell, vaccines and monoclonal antibodies, and in many other pathways. What a great problem to have! To keep patients informed about the latest research, important events and issues of the day, we are announcing a new program - Myeloma Crowd TV. The show is intended to cover current topics for the multiple myeloma patient, caregiver and family community in easy-to-understand language. Educated and empowered patients ask better questions of their doctor, have more involvement in directing their care and typically have better outcomes than their uninformed peers. We hope you enjoy this and future episodes. If you have ideas about topics you would like to see covered in the show, send us an email to info@crowdcare.org. Here's to greater progress and better outcomes in 2016! Subscribe to the Myeloma Crowd You Tube Channel
