Let's support an important cause: CANCER RESEARCH! For Dr. James R. Berenson's birthday, we are raising support for the groundbreaking work that the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research (IMBCR) is conducting everyday. We have recently discovered a new target, i1, and compounds that block it which is leading to a brand-new approach to treating myeloma. Any gift will make an impact and is tax-deductible. We appreciate you and thank you for your donation. IMBCR.org/Donate

📣 UPDATE on the new myeloma treatment we’ve all been working on: We’ve gotten a lot of questions asking if the new treatment we’re working on with the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research will eventually be available outside of the US. Here’s Dr. B’s answer.

We are continuing to get lots of questions about the new treatment we’re working on for getting rid of myeloma. The first question I’m going to answer is from David on Facebook. He asks “Is the new treatment you’re testing similar to ruxolitinib or something completely new?”

We started Myeloma BioBank to help accelerate the discovery of new treatments and cures for myeloma and its related diseases; this BioBank provides support for ongoing research at the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research (IMBCR).

We are able to provide researchers with the highest quality blood and bone marrow samples from multiple myeloma and other plasma cell dyscrasias, including MGUS, amyloidosis, and Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.

5 States of Myeloma: ⬇️

There are 5 different states of Myeloma disease. Have you heard of all of these?

🔹 1. MGUS: Stands for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. MGUS is when M-protein is found in the body, but there are not enough plasma cells to call it myeloma, and no treatment is required.

🔹2. Smoldering Myeloma: This is when there are enough plasma cells in the bone marrow (more than 10%) to call it myeloma, but there are no symptoms. Patients typically just require close monitoring.

🔹3. Plasmacytoma: is when a single group of abnormal plasma cells grow.

🔹4. Active myeloma: is where there are typically multiple symptoms, such as bone damage, fatigue, kidney failure, anemia, and a compromised immunity.

🔹5. Plasma Cell Leukemia: When the myeloma spreads from the bone marrow into the blood, it is known as plasma cell leukemia. Myeloma patients who develop this at diagnosis have a better outcome than those who develop it during the course of their disease.

No matter what stage, there are more treatments available now than ever before. 🎉

Myeloma patient story: Theresa was in the hospital for double pneumonia for 14 days. Her kidneys had failed. Her lungs collapsed. She had four transfusions. Through testing, she discovered she had multiple myeloma, and started working with a local oncologist. After two months of treatment, she started working with Dr. James Berenson. After just a few months her numbers changed drastically. So happy for you Theresa! 🎉👏
