Product Description
Due to major advances in understanding the biology and pathogenesis of the disease, the management of multiple myeloma is changing rapidly. New diagnostic and prognostic criteria have been introduced, and treatment options are multiplying with high-dose chemotherapy regimens, stem cell transplants, and the development of novel agents and immune-based strategies that target tumor cells directly. This book is aimed at the practitioner who is looking to put these advances into clinical context. It will serve as an up-to-date resource for treatment of myeloma and related disorders. Chapters are written by international authorities and contain color photos, diagrams, and algorithms outlining preferred treatment strategies. Relevant scientific information is integrated throughout, but the focus here is on providing practical therapeutic guidance for oncologists and hematologists caring for myeloma patients. The book covers all myeloma subtypes and related disorders, including amyloidosis, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, plasmacytoma, MGUS, and POEMS syndrome. |

by Kenneth C. Anderson MD (Author)
Although treatable with conventional and high dose therapies, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable. However, recent advances in oncogenomics, coupled with increased understanding of the role of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment in MM pathogenesis, has provided the basis for a new treatment paradigm targeting the tumor cell in the BM milieu to overcome conventional drug resistance and improve patient outcome. This text will first describe advances in molecular pathogenesis of MM due to...
