Combination myeloma therapy almost doubles PFS
Community Oncology editor Dr. David Henry spoke with Dr. Kenneth Anderson at the Oncology Practice Summit in Las Vegas about the antibody elotuzumab in the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. He notes that as a single agent, the anti-CS humanized monoclonal antibody can achieve stable disease and when used in combination with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone early findings suggest a response rate of 80%-90% and a near doubling of progression-free survival.

Connecting with teen patients
Parental presence in the exam room can sometimes mean more harm than good. In a recent survey by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID), 84% of physicians said teenagers are more likely to ask about concerns with weight management, sexual health, vaccines, and stress if teens and doctors have more one-on-one time.
Teenagers may also care more about their health than their physicians think. Nearly 70% of teens said they worry about being healthy, and only 7% of physicians thought teens wanted to be proactive about their health. Regardless, millions of teens might be missing the opportunity for regular checks and screening for potential health risks, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Census.
At a recent NFID briefing releasing survey results, experts offered some tips for how to best connect with teen patients.
