Myeloma Therapy Supplement
Historically, multiple myeloma, the second most common hematologic malignancy in the US, has been difficult to manage. Hematologists/oncologists are more likely to encounter patients with myeloma, as an analysis of population-based cancer registries in nine countries indicates that the burden (number of incident cases) of this disease has increased.
