ISA 2024 | Differentiating between amyloidosis and myeloma

In this video, Efstathios Kastritis, MD, University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece, explains the differences between amyloidosis and myeloma. Amyloidosis involves a smaller, less aggressive plasma cell clone and results in cardiac, renal, liver, and nerve complications. Patients are often frail and less tolerant to myeloma treatments. Treatment strategies differ due to the indolent nature of the plasma cell clone in amyloidosis. This interview took place at the XIX International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) in Rochester, MN.
