Abstract:
2014 International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) summit was held in Milan at June 2014.During this meeting,the criteria of asymptomatic and symptomatic multhiple myeloma was revised.No benefit was shown with conventional treatment for asymptomatic patients.Frontline therapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma,also in elderly patients was discussed.Individualized treatment,especially for genetic risk stratification should be done,but randomized control studies needed to be done to confirm its feasibility.
