BCMA: A new biomarker for multiple myeloma

Показать описание
Dr James Berenson talks to ecancer at the International Myeloma Workshop 2019 about BCMA or B-cell maturation antigen.
This is a novel marker for multiple myeloma which will improve the speed at which changes in clinical status can be determined, and is also a good prognostic marker.
The benefits of this marker therefore allow patients to move quickly away from a regimen that isn't working, or begin with less treatment.
Dr Berenson predicts that we could establish a threshold for the amount of BCMA in a patient which provides an accurate level of risk for developing myeloma.
