Paul Richardson, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, provides a comprehensive summary of his talk on approaches to newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) and the rapidly evolving treatment landscape in this setting. He highlights the importance of tailored treatment strategies due to the genetic instability of the disease and emphasizes that one size does not fit all in the context of myeloma treatment. Dr Richardson also discusses the success of quadruplet regimens, which have revolutionized the frontline treatment landscape, and comments on the evolving role of transplantation. Finally, Dr Richardson presents some interesting findings from the DETERMINATION study (NCT01208662), which elucidated the possible impact of the Duffy null phenotype on the pathobiology and treatment outcomes in myeloma. This interview took place at the 5th Oxford Myeloma Workshop in Oxford, UK.
