EBMT 2024 | Overcoming barriers to treating older patients with myeloma
Sergio Giralt, MD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, provides an overview of the existing barriers to treating older patients with multiple myeloma. Aside from socio-economic constraints, there are surmountable educational barriers that should be addressed, and Dr Giralt suggests that misconceptions remain regarding older patients being ineligible for various treatments. Accordingly, treating physicians alongside patients must be educated, in order to confer full benefit from the treatment modalities available. This interview took place at the 50th Annual Meeting of the EBMT in Glasgow, Scotland.
