The Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University is enrolling patients who have been recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma in a voluntary research project called the Patient Registries at Slone: Myeloma. The registry gathers important information about the impact of myeloma and its treatments on patients’ physical, emotional, social, and economic well-being.

Since myeloma is not a very common disease, it is essential for the registry to enroll as many patients as possible. It is also important that the registry includes patients from all regions of the U.S. and from all walks of life. Together, you and others facing the challenges of myeloma can provide valuable information that will help doctors better understand the disease and in turn, help myeloma patients now and in the future.

"Since I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1998, there have been many advances in treatment for this disease. From my experience, I realize how very important it is to understand as much as possible about the impact of myeloma and its treatments on individuals’ lives. The PRS:Myeloma Registry will help gather this valuable information. Participation is simple and I encourage those of you who are newly diagnosed to enroll." -Geraldine Ferraro
