    Episode 51 - Podcast: What I'd Do Differently Tomorrow - Part 5 of RRMM Podcasts: Practical Insights for the First Relapse

    Managing relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), particularly at first relapse, requires timely, evidence-based decisions in an increasingly complex treatment landscape. As therapeutic options continue to expand and clinical guidance evolves, healthcare professionals must navigate challenges related to risk stratification, treatment selection, sequencing strategies, and the integration of emerging immunotherapies into practice. Clinicians may also face uncertainty in distinguishing mechanisms of action, managing immune-related toxicities, and selecting appropriate therapies in the context of treatment resistance. Additionally, real-world barriers such as staffing shortages, infusion capacity constraints, and workflow demands can complicate the implementation of optimal care. This podcast series features expert-led conversations that deliver practical insights and real-world strategies to support confident, guideline-informed decision-making in the management of RRMM. Launch Date/Release: July 2, 2026 Expiration Date: August 31, 2027 FACULTY Ajai Chari, MD Professor of Clinical Medicine University of California, San Francisco Sagar Lonial, MD, FACP, FASCO Chair and Professor Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology Anne and Bernard Gray Family Chair in Cancer Chief Medical Officer Winship Caner Institute | Emory University This podcast provides accredited continuing education credits.
