Format and Topics:

This symposium will use a provocative and informative point-counterpoint format to provide multiple perspectives on evolving data, guideline changes, and expert recommendations for optimal management of patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

In this format, international experts will debate and discuss how recent updates and practice changes affect therapeutic decisions faced by clinicians treating myeloma in the frontline and relapsed settings in 2015 and beyond.

Symposium Topics Are:

• Benefits and risks associated with new diagnostic criteria and early treatment of MM
• Risk-adapted therapy for patients with newly diagnosed MM
• Using minimal residual disease to guide maintenance therapy
• Emerging systemic therapies for newly diagnosed MM or with relapsed disease
