O que há de novo no tratamento do mieloma múltiplo? | DrauzioCast

In the 1970s, a person diagnosed with multiple myeloma had an average survival time of less than 2 years. Today, 62% of patients reach an average of 5 years, and many live longer than that. The third most common hematological cancer, multiple myeloma affects plasma cells, the cells responsible for antibody production. In this episode of DrauzioCast, Drauzio Varella talks with hematologist Vânia Hungria about the evolution in the treatment of the disease and new perspectives on multiple myeloma.
