Abstract

Knowledge of genetic mutations and how these affect patient outcomes is rapidly expanding in the care of individuals diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). Genetic analysis of bone marrow biopsies now provides information about diagnosis,response to treatment, and prognosis.

This will allow them to provide care, support, and education related to MM and its treatment to patients and their families.
