He highlights important factors in choosing a treatment, including the type of relapse a patient is having, prior myeloma therapy, and accumulated toxicities. Prof. Dimopoulos also speaks about the influence of the cytogenetic profile of the patient, whether a patient has extramedullary disease and their renal function on treatment choice.
