Questions for Second and Third Opinion Myeloma Specialists
About Your Aggressive Disease:
- Based on my cytogenetics and other risk factors, what specifically makes my myeloma high-risk?
- What's your assessment of my prognosis with current treatment options?
About Remission and Relapse: 3. What remission depth are you targeting—partial remission, very good partial remission, or minimal residual disease (MRD) negative? 4. If I relapse, how would you approach second-line therapy differently? 5. What's the typical remission duration for someone with my specific genetic features?
About Treatment Strategy: 6. Would you recommend induction therapy followed by stem cell transplant, or a different approach? 7. What maintenance therapy do you recommend after initial remission? 8. Are there clinical trials for my risk profile that I should consider?
About Monitoring: 9. How frequently will you monitor for relapse, and what tests will you use? 10. What early warning signs should I watch for between appointments?
About Drug Options: 11. Which proteasome inhibitors, IMiDs, and monoclonal antibodies would be in your first-line regimen? 12. If I become refractory to standard drugs, what newer agents would be available?
About Your Specific Case: 13. Do you have experience treating aggressive myeloma with my exact cytogenetic profile? 14. What's your center's response rate and remission duration for patients like me?
