Here are my slides on a talk I gave on why there is no association between most auto-immune diseases and MGUS. And why previous studies were flawed/claimed erroneous associations. All credit to the amazing @iStopMM for this. tinyurl.com/ky9smm3e @SarahSchaferMD #mmsm

Daratumumab has been known to be effective in relapsed myeloma for a long time. Yet it was mostly not given to the control arm upon progression in trials of newly diagnosed myeloma. This is a preventable tragedy- that we must avoid repeating. #mmsm jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

We had a great conversation with @kaydaustin at ASCO. Amazing patient advocate and looking forward to working on a few initiatives with her. Check out her story and listen to her podcast to get important insights from a patient perspective. @rmistry91
What's it like being a once shy and very introverted patient advocate at the largest oncology conference? A thread on #ASCO23 from a patient perspective and a heartfelt thank you to those who truly embodied ASCO's theme this year - Partnering with Patients 👇
