In this episode, we discuss the management of multiple myeloma in LMICs with Dr. Andrés Gómez-De León from UANL, Monterrey, Mexico, and Dr. Aditya Jandial from PGIMER, Chandigarh, India. This episode was inspired by an article in Lancet Haematology titled “The Underrepresented Majority”, which highlighted the lack of access to some of the basic anti-myeloma drugs in LMICs and the resulting disparity in global outcomes.
