Multiple Myeloma 101

November 29, 2022

The advances in multiple myeloma are forever changing and it is challenging for providers to keep up to date on the latest in diagnosis and treatment.  Staying up to date on the evidence is imperative to provide best quality reports. Having knowledge shared on specific hematologic diagnosis is critical to produce high quality reports. 

The research and knowledge on treating this type of cancer is quickly evolving.  Our staff have limited experience with hematology oncology, and specifically with multiple myeloma. As a result of this activity, staff will have a deeper understanding of multiple myeloma in order to better review these cases. This knowledge will lessen the gap and provide for more efficient report production and quality recommendations.

Target Audience

AccessHope physicians, nurses, and patient navigators.

  • Differentiate between MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance), smoldering MM, and active MM.
