IMS 2024 | Factors to consider when choosing between ‘watch and wait’ versus early intervention in SMM

Irene Ghobrial, MD, PhD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, discusses factors that are important to consider when deciding whether to treat individuals with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Dr Ghobrial comments on the importance of improving risk stratification tools, and further emphasizes the benefit of using immunotherapeutic agents as early as possible, as this may reduce the toxicities associated with these therapies. This interview took place at the 21st International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
