How has your week started, myeloma world?

We hope it's going well so far.

We once again have a rather long list of new myeloma research we'd like to discuss with you. We sus­pect most of our readers will find at least one or two studies in the report to be of particular interest.

We begin today's report with a discussion of a somewhat rare eye-related side effect of Velcade (bor­tez­o­mib) and a possible way to control the side effect.

Next, we take a quick look at two articles about …

We tried, myeloma world, but we couldn't come up with a short title for today's report.

There were just too many words needed to describe the three research articles that we plan to review with you in this edition of Myeloma Morning.

First, we have an important new study out of Spain that in­ves­ti­gates the sig­nif­i­cance of Bence Jones protein in smol­der­ing multiple myeloma patients.

Next, we turn to a study by researchers in Japan. They in­ves­ti­gate different methods for measuring a person's bone marrow plasma cell per­cent­ages, and how those methods can …

Good morning, myeloma world.

It's Monday, and the weekend definitely is over. The vigorous activity in our email inbox is making that eminently clear. But, with the week still so young, there isn't much new myeloma research for us to review with you. In fact, we have just two new studies that we'd like to discuss today.

Both studies are by European researchers who have compiled and analyzed retrospective data on some important topics.

One study out of Portugal looks at the use of Revlimid (lenalidomide) to treat multiple myeloma patients who …

Good morning, myeloma world.

It's a Sunday, so it probably won't be too much of a surprise that today's list of new multiple myeloma-related research is rather short.

In fact, a quick check of our usual list of new multiple myeloma research – which we include at the end of every edition of Myeloma Morning – reveals that there are just three new studies.

We'll spend most of our time in today's report looking at a European study published on Friday. It investigates the genetics of peripheral neuropathy in …

Good morning, myeloma world.

As we were finalizing today's edition of Myeloma Morning, we were suddenly reminded of how inter­na­tional the field of multiple myeloma research truly is.

The first research study we review below is by a team of German researchers. We also discuss two studies by Korean researchers, and a topic sparked by a report written by Chinese researchers. At the end of today's report, the list of new myeloma research articles also in­cludes publications by investigators in India, Israel, Italy, and the United States.

As we …

Good morning, myeloma world.

It truly was a dark and stormy night when we sat down early yesterday to start writing the next edition of Myeloma Morning. A spring windstorm was howling about outside and, before we knew it, the wily gusts had conspired to knock out electricity at Myeloma Morning Headquarters.

Fortunately, the watts and volts are back in working order, and we're glad to be writing for you again.

All the news we cover in today's Myeloma Morning concerns recently published research studies.

One study by …
