CERVINO has 46 mg of Dex in week one! so Toci proph and Dex 10 mg on SUD and 36 mg with full dose. I do think with higher doses of Dex we see less CRS but i would rather have grade 1 CRS in my older patient than Dex associated delirium.
“An Unexpected Benefit of Adding the Patient Voice to Medical Education - Train Providers to be Better”
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Amyloidosis is a complex multi-systemic disease. Lack of knowledge about amyloidosis and subsequent mis- or under-diagnosis are major obstacles to treatment, which result in life-threatening organ damage, heart failure, morbidity, and mortality. At present, medical didactic education about amyloidosis leaves new physicians woefully unprepared to suspect and diagnose amyloidosis. A study published in 2023 confirmed a positive impact on medical students following a patient presentation. Continued analysis of the study data revealed an unexpected benefit of adding the patient voice to medical education. The purpose of this paper is to describe this unexpected and potentially powerful benefit.
-- Thank you to Dr. Arvind Bhimaraj for his unwavering support for our work and the importance of including the patient voice in medical education.
For older pts who do not tolerate dex, is anyone reducing the dex empirically during sud and full dosing with BsAb? In many MM trials if you’re > 75, dex is 20 mg/wk, but with BsAb, it can be a high 40-50 mg/wk during step up… i’m seeing more dex related problems than BsAb…
If you stop Revlimid maintenance and your numbers rise, can you go back on it before it becomes a full relapse? IMF NLB member Sam Shenoy breaks down what it depends on in this short clip.

This will be one of the significant challenges if our care moves that direction. Another - and one that I think about frequently - is the question of who does the work. Who responds to this influx of data? Relatedly, who carries liability for decisions when data flow becomes “metronomic” (my term, maybe not the best description). I think health systems have a lot of unglamorous work to do around systems and infrastructure in the next 2-5 years.

Very important work. 👏👏
I have tended to use IVIg more liberally in patients on Dara, especially for winter months. 29% grade 3 infection rates are in the realm of TRIMM-2 and MonumenTAL-1!
I will be speaking at the IMF's free online Myeloma Community Workshop: "What's the Right Answer? - Controversies in Myeloma." When experts disagree, it can be hard to know what's right for you. Register now at myeloma.org/videos/vcw-whats…#mmsm#multiplemyeloma@IMFmyeloma
Update: We did it!! For 🇺🇸 pts with myeloma, Medicare coverage for transplant is safe and sound.
No more exclusion of Stage I #MMsm or CKD!
Thanks to all who submitted comments; 👏 @AJPortuguese for govt testimony with help from @ASTCT and @ASH_hematology.
Advocacy works!
🚨🚨🚨 Help preserve transplants for 🇺🇸 pts with myeloma!
All patients, MDs, RNs, & anyone who knows transplant is good option for Medicare beneficiaries:
Please comment on CMS proposed memo by Aug 29th. Link 👇🏼
This is a big deal. ASCT no longer covered for ISS stage I 🤯
