Integrating Emerging Data Into Clinical Practice: A Case-Based Approach for Multiple Myeloma

Selected Patient Cases From the APSHO Regional Lecture Series INTRODUCTION As the official publication of the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO), JADPRO is pleased to offer Part 2 of an accredited educational activity based on the recently concluded APSHO Regional Lecture Series. Hosted in collaboration with major cancer centers around the country, the APSHO Regional Lecture Series brought case-based didactic presentations and skills workshops to advanced practitioners. In the spirit of JADPRO, three accredited Grand Rounds articles by Beth Eaby-Sandy, MSN, CRNP, OCN® (non–small cell lung cancer) and Sandra Kurtin, PhDc, ANP-C, AOCN® (multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia)—program chairs for the regional lecture series—offer the same practice-changing information and strategies for advanced practitioners. In this Grand Rounds article, program chair Sandra Kurtin gives a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in multiple myeloma research from the 2016 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and clinical insight in the management of patients with this disease. You can read Part 1 in the March 2017 issue of JADPRO or online at advancedpractitioner.com, and be sure to keep an eye out for Part 3 in a future issue of JADPRO.
