It’s been 3 years since our last myeloma series updates and the reality is, a lot has changed! Instead of releasing an updates episode, we are redoing our prior myeloma series to make sure that you, our listeners, can follow along the way you always have.

In the first episode in our highly-anticipated multiple myeloma series, we begin our discussion about introduction to testing/workup for plasma cell dyscrasias and having our initial discussion about monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).

Contents:

-What are "serum free light chains"?
