VJHemOnc was pleased to be the official media partner for Myeloma 2022, the 15th workshop exploring myeloma biology and innovation. The workshop featured a global expert faculty discussing the latest updates in multiple myeloma. This year’s key topics included the clinical management of myeloma, defining the molecular basis of myeloma in the development of novel targets, immune-based therapies, and measurable residual disease (MRD).
