Myeloma2018 Session VI

 

Microenvironment

During session VI at Myeloma2018, Kyohei Nakamura, MD, PhD, Bruno Paiva, PhD, and Marta Chesi, PhD, present stimulating evidence of the role the immune microenvironment plays in MM progression.
Key questions are asked on how understanding tumor-promoting inflammation could potentially present opportunities for therapeutic targeting, and how a mouse model of human cereblon could be useful in predicting survival outcomes from immunomodulatory drug treatment in MM.
