EHA 2018 Multiple Myeloma Abstracts –
Oral Presentations

Oral presentations of multiple myeloma-related research findings will take place on three main days of the 2015 European Hematology Association (EHA) annual meeting – Friday, June 15; Saturday, June 16; and Sunday, June 17.

The list below con­tains the titles and authors of all multiple myeloma oral presentations at EHA 2018. Presenter names are in bold.

The list is organized in chronological order by session.  Each entry in the list also includes a link to the full text of the relevant abstract at the EHA website.

Most of the presentations take place during sessions focused on multiple myeloma, but there are some presentations in the list from sessions on other topics, such as stem cell trans­plan­ta­tion.

Links to PDF files con­taining presentation slides will be added to entries in this list as those files are made available to The Beacon courtesy of the EHA presenters.

Please note that this list is oral presentations focused on original research. It does not include presentations that will be given during education sessions, symposia, or debates.

The Beacon also has three lists of the myeloma-related posters from the 2018 EHA meeting. There is one list for the posters to be presented on Friday, June 15; a second list for the posters to be presented on Saturday, June 16; and a third list for myeloma-related e-posters.
