How do multiple myeloma experts define cure?

 

In this week’s video, Dr. Brian G.M. Durie explains the two definitions for cure in multiple myeloma – functional cure and true cure.

BOTTOM LINE:
​We are still unable to define cure, but the good news is many new myeloma therapies lead to longer survivals that one day may be considered cures.
