An excellent overview of effective treatments in Multiple Myeloma - Prof O' Dwyer

In this podcast Prof O' Dwyer provides an excellent overview of effective treatments in Multiple Myeloma.

He has seen the development of many new drugs leading to improved survival in MM patients over his career and he discusses these in detail.

He highlights the role of the immune system and the development of immunomodulatory agents to treat Myeloma. Prof O'Dwyer explains the treatment options at diagnosis and the decision making process regarding treatments at relapse.

Drugs discussed include Thalidomide, Lenalidomide and Pomalidomide , Bortezomib, Carfilzomib, Bi Specific antibodies drugs and Car T Cells.

Fitness rather than numerical age is more important and treatments are individualised. Early recognition and treatment of side effects is critical. Finally Prof O'Dwyer also discusses the role of clinical trials in treating MM.
