Join Dr. M. Saleem Raza, Horizon Medical Oncologist at Horizon’s Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital (DECRH), and Gillian Gilles, Director of Oncology and Ambulatory Care at Horizon’s DECRH, as they discuss commonly asked questions about multiple myeloma.

In this video, Dr. Raza and Gillian talk about what multiple myeloma is, the signs, the diagnosis process, and management options for patients. Dr. Raza mentions potential risk factors that might increase a person's chance of having the condition, such as being over the age of 65.

Dr. Raza explains that although there is no definite cure for this form of cancer, there are encouraging options for patients to manage their condition, such as CART cell therapies. These advancements in treatment have shown promising outcomes for patients.

In addition to multiple myeloma, Dr. Raza and Gillian discuss other plasma cell disorders that viewers should be aware of.

If you or a loved one are concerned that you may be showing signs of multiple myeloma, we strongly encourage you to seek medical attention from your healthcare provider.
