The International Myeloma Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of multiple myeloma patients while working toward
prevention and a cure through our four founding principles: Research, Education, Support, and Advocacy.
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is harnessing the power of myeloma patients, their families, and the myeloma community at large to raise awareness of the disease during Myeloma Action Month (MAM), starting March 1, 2019. In 2009, the IMF was the first organization to declare March as Myeloma Awareness Month. The organization elevated the campaign in 2016 to Myeloma Action Month to encourage a more dynamic, proactive approach.
Join our Living Well teleconference to hear the latest updates from Dr. Brian GM Durie. This teleconference will provide an overview of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), Smoldering Myeloma, and Newly Diagnosed myeloma patients.
We are thrilled to announce that on April 2, 2019, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will award a joint honorary doctorate for scientific excellence to Susie Durie, IMF President and Co-founder, and Brian G.M. Durie, MD, IMF Chairman and Co-founder, at a ceremony in Brussels, Belgium.
IMF Chairman Brian G.M. Durie, MD walks us through the science at work in these new curative approaches, and says they illustrate “several related opportunities which can contribute to dramatically improved outcomes and even cures in the near future.”
In this week’s video, Dr. Brian G.M. Durie discusses current treatments, including immune therapies, used to target and eliminate myeloma cells.
The support of loved ones allows us to continue to fund efforts to search for a cure. Check out how Fundraisers are helping in the fight against myeloma.
