Our understanding of multiple myeloma (MM) is growing at a formidable pace, particularly in terms of risk factors and potential drug targets. Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity is set to become the new benchmark in treatment, and cytogenetic analysis is now paving the way for personalized therapies. This second edition of 'Fast Facts: Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Dyscrasias' includes: - the new IMWG SLiM CRAB criteria - the latest advances in diagnostic tests and imaging - cytogenetics and genetic profiling - induction therapy prior to SCT - new lenalidomide- and bortezomib-based regimens - second-generation proteasome inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies treatments. This Fast Facts handbook provides a comprehensive overview of MM and other plasma cell dyscrasias, from bench to bedside, presenting the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment in the context of daily clinical practice. Contents: • Epidemiology and etiology Predisposing conditions associated with MM • Pathophysiology of MM and MGUS • Diagnosis, staging and monitoring of multiple myeloma • Genetics and multiple myeloma • Treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma • Stem cell transplantation in multiple myeloma • Relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma • Bone disease and renal complications • AL amyloidosis • Rare plasma cell dyscrasias • Supportive care

In this book, experts in the field express their well-reasoned opinions on a spectrum of important and complex issues in the area of cord blood transplantation. The aim is to provide practicing hematologists, including hematopoietic transplant physicians, with clinically relevant and immediately applicable information that will assist in the delivery of optimal care. The book opens by offering a historical perspective and examining current concepts and practices in cord blood banking. Sections are then devoted to strategies for cord blood graft selection and to areas of consensus and controversy in cord blood transplantation for neoplastic diseases - and nonmalignant - in children and adults. Attention is drawn to the implications of high-impact clinical trials whenever such trials are available. The readily intelligible text is complemented by numerous helpful tables, algorithms, and figures. This book will appeal to all residents, fellows, and faculty members responsible for the care of hematopoietic cell transplant patients and will offer a robust, engaging tool to aid vital activities in the daily work of every hematology and oncology trainee. .
