Myeloma Crowd Radio

Join us as we talk with Dr. Damian Green about radiation, radioimmunotherapy and how progress is being made for high-risk patients in myeloma treatment today.

Join us as we talk with Dr. ParameswaranHari, MD, MRCP, MS, about transplants, his latest myeloma research and open clinical trials. Dr. Hari is the Armand Quick-William Stapp Professor of Hematology, Section Head of Hematological Malignancies and the Director of the Adult Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Join us as we talk with Dr. Noopur Raje, MD of Massachusetts General Hospital about the research she performs in the Raje Lab to study how the bone marrow environment affects myeloma growth.

Join us as we talk with Dr. Jatin Shah about his many open mutliple myeloma clinical trials at MD Anderson. With a wave of new approaches just presented at ASH, Dr. Shah discusses the wide variety of clinical trial offerings for myeloma patients (from newly diagnosed to relapsed or refractory) that include the use of monoclonal antibodies and other cell signaling inhibitors that are now being tested in the mix with existing therapies.

What do your lab results mean and how can you learn more about your specific type of multiple myeloma? Dr. Michael J. Misialek, MD tells us that we have a pathologist that is ready and waiting to help you understand your disease.

Join us as we speak with Dr. Gareth Morgan from the Institute of Cancer Research as we discuss how we can get to personalized medicine in multiple myeloma. 

Join us to discuss with Dr. Rodger Tiedemann of the Ontario Cancer Institute and the Princess Margaret Hospitel his latest discovery about why myeloma keeps returning even after stem cell and combination therapy.

Listen to cytogenetics and genomics expert Dr. Rafael Fonseca, MD of the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale share the latest in his myeloma research and his open clinical trials. 

Hear myeloma expert Dr. Frits van Rhee, MD, PhD from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences discuss the latest research in Total Therapy and open clinical trials at UAMS. 

Listen to Dr. Shaji Kumar, MD of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester as he describes how all myeloma was once MGUS, how new inhibitors (like CDK and HDAC) work, and his study of how cytogenetics impacts disease progression. 

Listen to our next show with Dr. Sergio Giralt of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to hear about his deep expertise in transplantation and his latest trials including the use of a vaccine in combination with transplant and a gene-targeted approach using cabozantinib.

Listen to Dr. Craig Crews of the Crews Laboratory at Yale University describe how a drug begins as an idea and becomes a real myeloma therapy used in the clinic. He shares his story of the discovery and development of the drug carfilzomib (Kyprolis).

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma we welcome Dr. James Berenson of the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research (IMBCR) to discuss the latest in his research and his open clinical trials.      

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma, we welcome Dr. William Bensinger of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to discuss his research and many trials including a Kyprolis trial. With the recent announcement of Amgen's purchase of Onyx, we will be asking how we can continue to fast-track drug development for multiple myeloma.

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma we welcome Dr. Don Benson of The James Comprehensive Cancer Center at Ohio State University back to discuss his research in nk cells, immunotherapy, and an upcoming PD-1 trial.

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma, listen to Dr. Robert A. Kyle, a pioneer in myeloma research, as he gives us perspective on the history of "Innovation in Myeloma" and his lengthy research as the first to identify MGUS and smoldering myeloma. 

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma, listen to Dr. Landgren as we discuss his research in new therapies for myeloma in its precursor states (MGUS and smoldering), molecular profiling of myeloma and why it is important in predicting progression, and his related research with myeloma and the immune system. 

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma, listen to the first in a two-part series with Dr. Benson as he gives us a primer in clinical trials. Because only 5% of myeloma patients participate in clinical trials, we want you to know all about them so you can understand why you would want to enroll, how they are staged, who funds them and what you can expect in outcomes.

  This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma listen to Dr. Guido Tricot discuss his latest research and open clinical trials.  

This week on HealthTree Podcast for Multiple Myeloma, listen to myeloma pioneer Dr. Robert Z. Orlowski discuss his latest research and open clinical trials in our first patient internet radio interview.
